CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Q-State Biosciences<\/a> (\u201cQ-State\u201d), a discovery technology and therapeutics company advancing programs for the treatment of serious central nervous system disorders, announced today the publication of a peer reviewed original research article in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience<\/i>. The paper, titled \u201cHighly Parallelized, Multicolor Optogenetic Recordings of Cellular Activity for Therapeutic Discovery Applications in Ion Channels and Disease-associated Excitable Cells<\/a>,\u201d <\/i>highlights Q-State\u2019s proprietary Swarm\u2122 technology system. A pillar of the company\u2019s unique-in-world BRITE\u2122 discovery engine, Swarm\u2122 leverages highly parallelized optogenetic measurements of human and animal model systems to characterize complex cellular function and the performance characteristics of therapeutic candidate molecules. The publication is part of a special research topic collection entitled \u201cTargeting Ion Channels for Drug Discovery: Emerging Challenges for High Throughput Screening Technologies.\u201d<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe paper details the design and operating capabilities of the new Swarm\u2122 system, including its use applications in neuronal and cardiac model systems to broadly quantify cellular activity. As a demonstration of the system\u2019s high throughput capacity, Q-State scientists established and optimized a series of \u2018Spiking HEK\u2019 cell assays to screen voltage-gated sodium channel subtypes such as Nav1.7, which plays a critical role in the sensory transmission of pain and has historically been a challenging target for drug development. The team at Q-state first validated the instrument and assays with known pharmacological tool compounds and then performed a high-throughput screen of 200,000 small molecules to identify Nav1.7 subtype selective blockers to show its utility at scale. As a final demonstration of the versatility of Swarm\u2122, the new system was used to record changes in both voltage and calcium simultaneously in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes under paced conditions. This state-of-the-art approach represents significant progress in the ability to screen challenging but biologically important drug targets with the throughput, deep information content, and high temporal resolution necessary to power AI\/ML-based computational insights which will ultimately yield urgently needed new therapies to patients.\n<\/p>\n

\nQ-State technologist Gabriel Borja<\/a> is lead author of the paper.\n<\/p>\n
