Research Insights 2026: Neuroscience Symposium

The Neuroscience Symposium 2026 brings together scientists working at the intersection of neuroscience, electrophysiology, and membrane biology.

This event focuses on how functional assays are used to investigate:

  • Ion channels and transporters in the nervous system
  • Disease-relevant cellular models, including iPSC-derived neurons
  • Mechanisms underlying neurological disorders

When: May 20, 2026
Where: Virtual
Format: Two sessions (morning & afternoon)

Why attend this symposium?

Whether you work in academia, CROs, or drug discovery, this event will give you:

  • Insights into ion channel behavior in neurological disorders
  • Real data from iPSC-derived neuron models
  • Practical approaches to electrophysiology workflows
  • Exposure to emerging neuroscience applications

 

Key topics

  • Ion channel and transporters dysfunction in neurological diseases
  • iPSC-derived neuronal models for functional studies
  • Electrophysiology approaches for neuroscience research
  • Translating functional data into drug discovery insights

Previous symposium

Our Research Insights Symposia connect experts in drug discovery across disciplines.

Previous editions, including our cardiac safety symposia (2021, 2023, 2025), have brought together a global community of researchers from academia, pharma, and CROs to share data, discuss challenges, and exchange ideas.
