Background

Applications of human iPSC derived cardiomyocytes
Human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC CM) can be differentiated from healthy or diseased donors.

Many applications of iPSC CM including:

  • Study of channelopathies e.g. long QT syndromes
  • Development of patient specific pharmacology
  • Stem cell therapies
  • Drug screening and preclinical safety assessment

To successfully utilise iPSC CM as a model system they need thorough functional characterisation.
