Automated Electrophysiological Recording of GLUT9: Expanding QPatch Applications to Transporters
Anna Mondini,
Head, Electrophysiology
Expanding Automated Electrophysiology Applications for Ion Channel and Transporter Research
Axxam is pleased to attend the Ion Channel Modulation Symposium 2026, an international meeting dedicated to advances in ion channel research, electrophysiology, and drug discovery.
The Ion Channel Modulation Symposium, organized by Sophion Bioscience, brings together experts from academia, CROs, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies to discuss emerging technologies, novel targets, and innovative approaches for studying ion channels and membrane proteins in drug discovery.
Representing Axxam, Anna Mondini, Head of Electrophysiology, will attend the symposium and contribute to the scientific program with a short oral communication focused on the application of automated electrophysiology to transporter research.
Oral Communication
Anna Mondini will present:
“Automated Electrophysiological Recording of GLUT9: Expanding QPatch Applications to Transporters”
24 June
12:30 PM
In this short oral communication, Anna Mondini will present Axxam’s work on the automated electrophysiological recording of GLUT9, highlighting how QPatch-based approaches can be expanded beyond classical ion channel targets to support the functional investigation of transporters.
Transporters are highly relevant in drug discovery, as they contribute to key physiological processes and can play important roles in disease mechanisms, compound disposition, and pharmacological responses. However, their functional characterization can be technically challenging, particularly when robust, scalable, and physiologically meaningful assay formats are required.
This presentation will explore how automated electrophysiology can support the study of transporter activity, providing functional readouts that complement traditional assay approaches and expand the range of membrane proteins accessible to advanced electrophysiological investigation.
