| Ion Channels in Drug Discovery: Exciting New Targets and Exciting New Drugs Although, Ion Channels are well-established targets for drug intervention, the last several years have seen resurgence of the interest of Ion Channels as targets for Drug Discovery. Concurrent advances in Genomics and Structural Biology have kindled this regeneration of interest. Further advances in Natural Products Chemistry and the Synthetic Organic Toolbox have made what once would have been considered daunting synthetic targets into interesting drug leads. This session will feature New Ion Channels Targets for Therapies, New Therapies for Under-treated Diseases, New Modeling Techniques for Optimizing Ion Channel Modulators and New Modulators Derived from Natural Sources. | |||
