Breakthrough #2: automated electrophysiology. Manual patch clamping is super labor intensive. Fortunately, UMich has a new @NanionTech SyncroPatch, that can record from 96 wells at once with the talented @CIRIAHERNANDEZ2 at the LSI to run an analyze the experiments.
I'm thrilled to announce a new paper targeting Kv7.2! We characterize two chemical series using automated electrophysiology and docking. A really fun collaborative project between 6 groups at @UMich and @PittTweet. https://t.co/TFa4XN3Azl
Two new @UMLifeSciences research projects are moving forward with support from philanthropic funds established specifically to encourage innovative, early-stage research that has the potential to have a positive impact on human health. https://t.co/Nm1OkJdInw
Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.
