Re-assessing the risks of drug-induced arrhythmias during drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

We suggest a new generation of screening assays, that better recapitulate the electrophysiology of the whole human heart, may allow better decisions across research and development. A more recent analysis has illustrated how both assay validity and reproducibility correlate across a population of simulated screening and disease models 2.
