Organelle Pharmacology: A new frontier for drug discovery

Sophion is happy to be sponsoring the upcoming symposium: Organelle Pharmacology – A new frontier for drug discovery, taking place in the UK.

This exciting event brings together researchers exploring how cellular organelles shape disease mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities. Automated patch clamp (APC) plays a central role in this work, enabling high‑precision, high‑throughput electrophysiological measurements that reveal organelle signaling, ion handling, and membrane dynamics—key insights for organelle‑focused drug discovery.

Time and venue:

📅 April 15 – 16, 2026

📍University of Oxford, Lecture Theatre, Department of Pharmacology, Mansfield Road, Oxford

Sophion will showcase how our APC platforms support advanced electrophysiology of organelles and small cells. With high‑resistance QPlates and QChips engineered for fragile structures, our systems enable stable giga‑seal formation and low‑noise recordings from lysosomes, mitochondria, nuclei, red blood cells, neurons, and T‑cells. This allows researchers to perform high‑throughput, high‑precision studies of ion channels and transporters in even the most delicate biological systems—delivering clearer data, better stability, and deeper insights.

Visit us at our booth to meet our experts and discover how Sophion’s Automated Patch Clamp solutions can elevate your organelle research.
