Funded Activity Summary

The Roboocyte™: a medium-throughput, secondary functional, screening facility. Changes in ion channel function have been implicated in a wide variety of human diseases. For this reason many researchers are studying ion channels to understand how they work and how they can develop new drug treatments. The slowest step in evaluating the biological activity of compounds is testing them against the ion channels and the current technology requires much tedious manual handling and extensive operator expertise. The Roboocyte facility will triple testing productivity by allowing for the rapid and automated screening of large libraries of compounds. Such a facility will be unique to the Southern Hemisphere.
