Louise Webdale

Biography

Louise has worked in the ion channel field for over 25 years, within both large pharma and biotech industry positions.  After obtaining a Biology degree specialising in Mammalian Physiology she started her career developing diagnostic ELISA kits for the veterinary industry within Cambridge Life Sciences. Following this, she joined the Assay Development group at Parke-Davis Neuroscience Research Centre (Pfizer), Cambridge, where she was a founder member of the Cell Culture Department and over a period of 11 years supplied reagents to support projects within the Cambridge and Sandwich sites. She then moved to Cytomyx (Millipore) to create the Cell Culture Department and was fundamental in the developing of over 120 ion channel and GPCR cell lines, sold worldwide under the PrecisION™ trademark.  Since 2009, Louise has continued her interest in ion channel biology, initially at Xention Discovery and more recently at Metrion Biosciences where she is Cell Culture Manager. Current responsibilities include supplying cell reagents to support all internal and CRO based projects using recombinant expression systems, primary cell lines and Induced Pluripotent Stem cells (iPSCs).
