Aurora’s Ion Channel Retreat (ICR) was intended to accelerate ion channel research and to promote collaboration and communication among scientists from academics and industry. For the last 14 years, ICR has enabled researchers to discuss and debate topics ranging from ion channel research and technology to drug discovery and safety. Since then, there has been a growing interest surrounding Precision Medicine topics, which coincided with Obama’s announcement of the Precision Medicine Initiative at his State of Union Address in 2015. Just one year after this announcement, China resonated this interest by accelerating an even larger Precision Medicine project. Thus, starting in 2016, Aurora is proud to announce its first Precision Medicine conference in conjunction with ICR-15.
