Scientifica Meets - Rich Rainbow, University of Liverpool
Scientifica was delighted to meet Rich Rainbow, Senior Lecturer and Cardiovascular Researcher at the University of Liverpool.
Rich discusses his research into cardiovascular ion channels, his recent publications and how he uses the Scientifica PatchStar Micromanipulator in his experiments for stable recordings.
Richard is also the course director of the Cell Physiology Workshop in Liverpool, a prestigious and long-running event created to address a vital need for specialist training in electrophysiology.
