The event will be held from 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm CET. When is this in my time zone?
This event is organized by BPS Member Andrea Bruggemann, Nanion Technologies.
Ion channels and transporters play critical roles in almost all physiological processes in the human body, making them important targets for basic research and as potential drug targets in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Learn about the importance of multidimensional aspects of electrophysiology research focusing on automated patch clamp and transporter technologies, through the words of the experts who developed them, and those that use them on a daily basis. Through their stories of outstanding scientific development and state of the art technical implementation, discover how the field is pushing the boundaries for the future generations.
