Session: Novel Insights into Ion Channel and Transporter Research

Join us for a captivating session at BPS 2025 on "Novel Insights into Ion Channel and Transporter Research: From Silent Translocation to Deep Learning Tools," which will highlight the latest advancements in ion channel and transporter assays, leveraging deep learning and novel electrophysiological techniques.

Featured presentations:

1. Leveraging Deep Learning Tools to Design hASIC1a Modulators
Speaker: Janina Sörmann, University of Copenhagen
Discover how deep learning is revolutionizing stroke therapy by enabling the design of potent, selective inhibitors for acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs). Dr. Sörmann will unveil novel miniproteins designed with AI tools and validated using the SyncroPatch 384 system, offering high efficacy and broad accessibility.

2. Benefits of SSME for the Investigation of the Lysosomal Ion Channels TMEM175, TPC2, and TRPML1
Speaker: Rocco Zerlotti, Nanion Technologies
Explore how Solid-Supported Membrane Electrophysiology (SSME) reveals functional insights into lysosomal channels such as TMEM175, TPC2, and TRPML1. Learn how the SURFE²R 96SE platform enhances understanding of ion permeability and channel modulation, complementing traditional patch-clamp techniques.

3. Integrated Optical and Electrical Techniques for Investigating Unsupported Lipid Bilayer Dynamics at the Single-Molecule Level
Speaker: Dan Burden, Wheaton College
Dive into a novel platform for studying biomolecule translocation across lipid bilayers at the single-molecule level. Dr. Burden will showcase the MECA platform, which combines optical and electrical measurements to detect electrically silent events, providing unparalleled insights into membrane dynamics and protein-lipid interactions.

Join us to explore how Nanion’s advanced technologies are driving new discoveries in electrophysiology and expanding the frontiers of ion channel and transporter research.
