Ion Channel Targets & Tools: The Importance of Ion Channel Research Strategies

Ion Channel Conference 2012: Develop your drug discovery portfolio with the latest advances in ion channel research

Ion channels are a critical drug target and within the past decade research within this field has been on the increase. With many companies focusing on ion channel research keeping up to date with the latest developments is of great importance. With this in mind we are delighted to invite you to attend our 4th annual Ion Channel conference.

Informa Life Sciences Ion Channel conference, compiled to reflect the constantly evolving field of Ion Channels as a drug target.  This case study driven event will present current developments in this innovative area.  

Topics to be addressed include:

  • Critical updates on ion channel structures
  • The role of ion channels for therapeutics
  • Exploring tools to target ion channels
  • Ion channels & stem cell developments
  • Covering Na+, K+ Ca2+ and TRP channels
