title: High throughput functional screening of an ion channel library for drug safety and efficacy.
abstract: Development of a large, representative library of ion channel-expressing cell lines is described. Validation on a full range of automated patch clamp and fluorescence illumination platforms is ongoing. Library "books" can be mixed and matched into channel panels according to tissue, therapeutic area and ion channel family. Unexpected results using a cardiac channel panel show that this panel may serve as a biomarker for cardiac risk assessment.
