In this course, we will explore the role of ion channels in health and disease. We will start with an overview of the diversity and molecular physiology of ion channels to then explore their pathological implication so- called channelopathies.
Cardiac, neuronal, skeletal muscle, and metaboloic channelopathies will be covered. Finally, we will look at their clinical pharmacology.
This course also contain hands-on experiments in the lab where students will learn state of the art techniques, especially patch clamp electriphysiology, to study ion channels.
