After 12 years of hosting the annual Ion Channel Retreat in Vancouver, Aurora Biomed is expanding its global reach to include a second retreat in Guangzhou, China. The International Ion Channel Retreat 2014 welcomes scientists from a variety of research laboratories representing the full spectrum of non-profit, academic, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Set to be held November 5th -7th 2014, the 2014 International Ion Channel Retreat will showcase the importance of new drug discovery research, as well as the importance of producing new screening technologies, while maintaining or improving safety and efficacy of target compounds. We have also added new elements that extend the scope of our Vancouver retreat, including the New Horizons of Life Sciences workshop, and more applicable topics like Neurodegenerative Diseases, Stem Cells, and Alcohol, Tobacco & Drug Abuse. 欧罗拉生物科技已经连续12年在加拿大温哥华举办离子通道年会，今年首次在中国广州开办第二场会议，即2014离子通道国际论坛（简称IICR），欢迎广大研究科学家参加。预定在11月5-7日，粤海喜来登酒店举行的IICR，将会继续沿袭温哥华会议的传统议题，包括离子通道在新药研发的重要性，开发新的筛选技术，以及如何评估和增强目标化合物安全性评价和开发效率。除此之外，我们特地增加了有别于温哥华会议的新元素，包括生命科学前沿，以及更多应用性话题，如离子通道与神经退行性疾病、或干细胞、或烟酒/药物成瘾的关系。 In addition to the three-day retreat format followed in Vancouver, the inaugural retreat in Guangzhou will include an additional session of short courses (TBA) for more exposure of your company. 此外，在3天正式会议中我们将会安排额外的研讨班供各位赞助商宣传推广其与离子通道相关的产品或者服务，增加赞助企业的曝光率。 Our program topics will cover cutting edge research and technologies, including but not limited to: 我们的会议题目涵盖了以下离子通道研究和技术前沿（但不局限于）：  Ion Channels as Disease Targets 离子通道作为药物靶点  Ion Channels as Pain Targets离子通道作为疼痛靶点  Ion Channel Screening Technologies离子通道筛选技术  Cardiac Function and Pharmacology心脏离子通道的功能与治疗  Cardiac Safety and Toxicology药物心脏毒性与安全评估  Structure & Function of Ion Channels离子通道结构&功能  Ion Pumps and Transporters离子泵与运输载体  New Horizons of Life Sciences生命科学前沿  NGS and Prenatal Screening NGS与产前筛选  Alcohol, Tobacco &, Drug Abuse and Ion Channels离子通道与烟酒、药品成瘾  Ion Channels and Infectious Diseases离子通道与传染性疾病  Ion Channels and Stem Cells离子通道与干细胞  Ion Channels as the treatment of Antibiotic Resistance离子通道与抗生素耐药性治疗  Ion Channels as treatment targets of cancers离子通道作为癌症治疗药物靶点  Ion Channels and Pesticide safety 离子通道与杀虫剂残留安全性  Ion Channels and safety of Chinese Herbology 离子通道与中药质量安全
