Cambridge Ion Channel Forum

We are delighted to invite you to the 6^th Cambridge Ion Channel Forum Meeting organised with Metrion Biosciences and AstraZeneca. The Cambridge Ion Channel Forum aims to bring together scientists working on ion channel projects across industry and academia. The focus is on open discussion and collaboration, without bias, and includes an opportunity for networking. 

There will also be an opportunity for attendees to present their research at the poster session.

Whilst free to attend, the conference is reserved for scientists and attendance is strictly upon confirmation of a registration request. The organisers reserve the right to refuse any registration.
