For CiPA, iPSC-CMs expressing a mature ventricular phenotype are required. At Metrion Biosciences we have focused on electrophysiological profiling of Axol Human iPSC-Derived Ventricular Cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-vCMs) by evaluating their biophysical and pharmacological characteristics.
The HESI Cardiac Safety Committee present results from an international ion channel research study that assessed the variability of hERG data generated using automated patch clamp platforms (QPatch 48, Qube 384 and the SyncroPatch 384i) across four different labs.
We developed a high-throughput, electrophysiological assay of TREK-1 function to identify novel modulators. The assay was optimized to identify both activators and inhibitors, providing comprehensive mechanistic data for high value, limited supply screening libraries, such as the venom fraction library used in this study (Targeted Venom Discovery Array, T-VDA, Venomtech, UK).
