About
Corey Landry is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, biophysics, and neuroscience, best known for developing automated systems that transform how scientists study single cells. His most celebrated contribution is the "PatcherBot," a robotic platform for single-cell electrophysiology that can autonomously perform intracellular patch-clamp recordings on adherent cells and brain slices. This breakthrough, published in 2019 with 56 citations, directly addresses a long-standing bottleneck in biophysics: the labor-intensive, low-throughput nature of traditional patch-clamp techniques. By automating the delicate process of achieving a gigaohm seal with a micropipette, Landry’s work dramatically increases experimental throughput while maintaining the high-fidelity data that makes patch-clamp the gold standard for studying ion channels and neuronal activity. His research seamlessly blends engineering innovation with biological application, offering tools that enable new discoveries in cellular and systems neuroscience. Landry’s impact extends beyond his own lab; the PatcherBot concept has inspired further automation in electrophysiology, making sophisticated single-cell analysis more accessible to researchers worldwide. For students and scientists alike, his work exemplifies how robotics can unlock the next frontier of cellular biophysics.
