8th SCI-RSC Symposium on Ion Channels as Therapeutic Targets

Synopsis

Ion channels are important targets for therapeutic intervention due to their extensive roles in human physiology and the pathophysiology of disease. Many successful drugs targeting this gene family have been discovered for diseases such as hypertension, epilepsy, and neuropathic pain. This symposium, the 8th in an ongoing series, will showcase the most recent advances to aid the design of new ion channel therapeutics and promote interaction between scientists with a shared interest in the field of ion channel drug discovery.

• Medicinal chemistry case studies of ion channels as therapeutic targets
• Advances in structure determination techniques and successful structure determinations of key ion channels 
• Novel pharmacology and target validation 
• Emerging technologies for targeting, assaying and modulating ion channel targets.
