Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description We have developed and tested a new technology for the screening of membrane proteins in microfluidics.
Exploitation Route This technology has been designed to look at human ion channels involved in disease states. There is potential for this technology to be used for drug discovery with other human membrane proteins, or membrane proteins from any other organism.
Sectors Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology
