Unmet needs of existing technology
The research of a new drug discovery targeting ion channels was previously impossible to access due to the absence of specialized research platform and electrophysiologists with expertise. Electrophysiological analysis using high level of patch-clamp technique is the key, but it was difficult to apply to the research of for a new drug discovery due to the lack of expertise and limitation for the low efficiency.
