How are they constituted, what are their processes, and what do they look for when assessing applicants? Answers to these and other questions presented by Andrew Green, PhD a veteran of the academic job search and numerous search committees. Exhibitor Presentation Nanion Technologies 9:30 am - 11:00 am, Room 9 Need for Speed: No Limits For Automated Electrophysiology For over 20 years, Nanion Technologies has been providing diverse solu tions for electrophysiologists worldwide. We aim to successfully imple ment innovative technologies in the fields of ion channel automated patch clamp (APC) electrophysiology, monitoring of cell viability and contraction, as well as electrogenic transporters, with various through put capabilities. This year, our symposium will start with an introduction by Dr. Andrea Brüggemann (CSO, Nanion) who will guide you through the overall capabilities of Nanion´s portfolio. Following this, we will wel come our speakers, whose work focuses on ion channel and transporter physiology and pathophysiology.
