  • Damian Bell (Metrion Biosciences) - Part 1: All things Ion Channels

    About:

    Damian Bell is an experience electrophysiologist - presently he is working at Metrion Biosciences - which is a specialty CRO (services in cardiac safety profiling, cardiac translational assays and neuronal translational assays) based out of Cambridge, UK.

    In Part 1: We look at Damian's history in Patch Clamp Electrophysiology and the emergence of automated patch clamp. He has spent time in the pharmaceutical industry with AstraZeneca, GSK, Convergence and Charles River Laboratories.

    The Advances in Drug Discovery specifically involving Ion Channel Research and the emergence of higher throughput screening (when compared to traditional Manual Patch Clamp).
