Advancing Lysosomal Ion Channel Programs from Early Discovery into Confident Lead Optimization

12:00 pm - Wednesday 23rd September 2026

  • Clarifying target rationale for lysosomal ion channels implicated in neurodegenerative disease to support early investment decisions 
  • Integrating electrophysiology, functional cell assays & chemistry iteration to progress intracellular channel hits toward development candidates 
  • Managing assay design & mechanistic uncertainty when optimizing compounds against non‑plasma membrane ion channels 
  • Achieving high brain penetrance while maintaining potency
