After returning from the FENS meeting, we had great news: our ANR proposal OptChemCom was selected for funding!!! In 2019-2021 the team will work on developing a strategy for extracting physiological ion currents (sodium, potassium and calcium) from living neurons, using our advanced imaging technology, novel photoactivable toxins developed by the ICST team of Michel De Waard and computational methods in collaboration with our greek partner Panayiota Poirazi.
