Research grants
Sophion Research Grants for post-graduate students and early career researchers (within five years of BSc/MSc/PhD award) in electrophysiology, drug discovery and related science.
The grant is open throughout the year and can be used in connection with a post-graduate degree or early career research or as part of an existing research project in a Technology Access Program that your institution or company has in place with Sophion. Routinely it includes between 1-10 weeks stay at our R&D laboratories, covering accommodation and lab expenses in either Tokyo, Shanghai, Boston or Copenhagen.
The grant can be applied by anyone performing research in the field of ion channel modulation and characterization that would benefit from access to high performance, high throughput automated patch-clamp instrumentation.
