Electrophysiology Core

Description
The Electrophysiology Core@NUS Medicine was established in 2018. Over the years the core has accumulated extensive experience in (1) characterizing disease associated ion channel mutations (2) screening of novel modulators of ion channels (3) characterizing primary or hIPSC-derived neurons or cardiomyocytes. (4) performing patch clamp recording from acutely isolated brain slice (5) recording end-plate potential in neuromuscular junction from acutely isolated phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation (6) performing whole endolysosomal recording. The core have worked closely with researchers in NUS/NUHS and beyond NUS, it has been engaged by DSO National Laboratories (DSO), A*STAR, NTU, SGH and various industrial partners. The core has supported high-impact publications in journals such as Nature Communications, Hypertension, PNAS, Cell Research and etc.
