FinE Course on Electrophysiology for In Vitro Models

We were pleased to welcome 65 participants to the second national Finnish Electrophysiology Platform (FinE) course, held at Tampere University on 8–9 June 2026.

The two-day program brought together students, researchers, and industry representatives interested in electrophysiology and its applications. The course covered a wide range of topics, from fundamental electrophysiological recordings in cell cultures and organoids to advanced applications in disease modelling, retinal physiology, cardiac electrophysiology, and organ-on-chip technologies.

Participants had the opportunity to learn about emerging technologies including microelectrode arrays, calcium imaging, sensor technologies, and advanced data analysis approaches. Laboratory tours and demonstration sessions provided hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art electrophysiology instrumentation and methods.

The program also featured presentations from early-career researchers, highlighting ongoing electrophysiological research across the FinE network and collaborating institutions.

We received highly positive feedback from participants, particularly regarding the course structure, scientific content, quality of the presentations, and overall organization. The strong interest and active participation throughout the event reaffirm the importance of national training activities in electrophysiology.

Following successful courses in Kuopio and Tampere, we look forward to continuing the FinE course series in Helsinki in 2027.
