In June 2013, Aurora Biomed will be hosting the 11th Annual Ion Channel Retreat in Vancouver, Canada. Each year, researchers use this forum to discuss and debate a spectrum of topics from ion channel research and technology to drug discovery and safety. Topics at this year’s Retreat will include Ion Channels as Disease Targets, Ion Channel Structure and Function, Ion Channel Screening Technologies and Cardiac Function and Pharmacology – just to name a few.

Meeting Format: The Ion Channel Retreat is a 3-day meeting encompassing several diverse areas of ion channel research. Poster presentations will be available for viewing during all session breaks.
