Development of native and stem cell-derived electrophysiological assays for neurotoxicology screening and translational drug discovery

Poster Description

Neurotoxicological effects now rank second behind cardiovascular events as adverse events impeding the development and safety of new drug candidates. Accordingly, Metrion has developed assays that can be used to predict seizurogenic and neurotoxic compound activity in the peripheral and central nervous system using native neurons, and are now building similar assays with human stem-cell derived neurons. Both approaches provide a translational step for development of anticonvulsant compounds and safe and effective treatments for other central nervous system diseases.
