Cell Physiology Workshop

The Cell Physiology Workshop (CPW) is a prestigious and long-running event created to address a vital need for specialist training in electrophysiology. The workshop now includes broad-ranging lecture sessions, and practical lab exercises, covering a wide range of topics such as electrophysiological recording techniques, ion transport, experimental design, and statistical analysis.

Originally held for nearly four decades at the Marine Biological Laboratories (MBL) in Plymouth, last year the workshop was relocated following the sad passing of one of its original organisers, Dr David Ogden.

The workshop has now found a new home at the University of Liverpool, marking a new chapter for this long-running annual event.

The 39th CPW, held from 12-23 August 2024, was led by Dr Richard Rainbow, a Senior Lecturer in Cardiovascular Research, who will manage the workshop in the future and ensure its hard-earned reputation is maintained.

Following the success of CPW-Liverpool 2024, plans are already in place for this year’s event.

The 40th edition of the workshop is scheduled for 11-22 August 2025 and promises to build on the innovations introduced last year, continuing the CPW’s legacy of providing top-tier training in electrophysiology for researchers from around the globe.
