Metrion Biosciences provides GLP hERG testing services which crucial for drug discovery and the Investigational New Drug (IND) process. Our focus is on delivering reliable, regulatory-compliant data quickly and cost-effectively.
The hERG gene encodes a potassium ion channel that is essential for repolarizing the cardiac action potential. Inhibition of this channel can prolong the QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG), leading to a condition called Torsades de Pointes (TdP), a potentially fatal arrhythmia.
I am currently studying Biomedical Sciences at the University of Manchester. Through my previous years of education, I enjoyed studying biology and engaging in practical experiments, particularly those with clinical relevance, which ultimately guided my degree selection.
The recent ICH E14/S7B Q&As have provided more clarity on the methodologies that should be employed when conducting a GLP hERG to support and IND filing for a novel clinical compound.
My 12 month industrial placement at Metrion Biosciences was a truly remarkable experience that has helped me grow both personally and professionally. Choosing to complete a placement year was a big decision for me which was made 100% worth it!
Two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channels are a family of four-pass transmembrane K+ channels that dimerise, as homomers or heteromers, to form a functional K+ channel complex capable of regulating membrane potential through a background K+ conductance.
