DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Elizabeth Ruiz Lancheros\, Institute of Par
 asitology\nNematode neuropeptides play critical roles in modulating neuron
 al networks acting independently or together with other neurotransmitters\
 ; consequently\, they influence motor programs and all nematode behavior o
 utputs. The FMRF-amide like peptide (FLP) family of neuropeptides is parti
 cularly well-conserved across the phylum Nematoda and differs from its ver
 tebrate counterpart. Peptides in this family are involved in neuromuscular
  functions\, feeding/metabolism\, and reproductive behaviors in free-livin
 g and parasitic nematodes. These unique characteristics of FLPs make their
  endogenous receptors\, mainly G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)\, poten
 tial targets for the rational discovery of chemotherapeutic agents that ta
 rget parasitic nematodes. Relatively few FLPs have been associated with a 
 receptor and several important candidate neuropeptide-GPCRs remain orphans
  (unpaired with its endogenous ligand). In this work\, we designed an in s
 itu deorpanization strategy in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
