Genionics is a privately owned Swiss biotech company headquartered in Schlieren at the
Biotech Center of Zurich
. The company was founded in 2007 by specialists in the fields of ion channel research and molecular biology and is thoroughly experienced in the development stages of modern drug discovery.
Our main focus is on ion channels, pore-forming proteins essential for the trafficking of ions in virtually every living cell. Along with kinases and GPCRs, ion channels belong to three most important drug target classes. The sequencing of the human genome (approximately 400 identified ion channel genes) as well as the advent of automated patch-clamp systems launched the
ion channel revolution
.
Ion channel analysis has so far not been able to make the leap to High Throughput Screening (HTS). Genionics offers
next generation ion channel reagents
to widen this bottleneck. Our unique screening concept will facilitate the discovery of new ion channel targets and will effectively open the door to a new frontier of treatments for ion channel diseases.
Products include:
Stable ion channel cells
Ion Channel Allele Screening
Channelopathy Diagnostics
Custom-designed cell lines
