Every year the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth holds the Plymouth Electrophysiology course. This year is the 30th anniversary of the first course which took place in April 1983.
The Marine Biological Association is the natural home of physiology researchers. Since this is the site of Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley's first, successful, voltage-clamp on a giant squid axon. Their ground breaking work received the Nobel Prize, in Physiology or Medicine, in 1963.
The Plymouth Electrophysiology course gives hands-on training in the techniques, and instruments needed for good electrophysiological recordings. Expert teachers give one-to-one tuition for the majority of the course, sharing their experience and many 'tricks of the trade'.
In the past the University made its own equipment for the course, but now works with specialised instrument companies to provide high standard rigs and instrument expertise.
This productive two-way dialogue allows continuous improvement of the latest research techniques and technologies.
As one of the collaborating partners, Scientifica are delighted to be helping develop the next generation of Electrophysiologists.
