Meet Roderick MacKinnon
A Nobel laureate and an endurance athlete, Roderick’s 2003 Nobel Prize was awarded for his work on ion channel activation. This work went on to become the foundation of Flex Pharma’s clinical approach to muscle cramping – and the company hopes to translate their findings into treatments for patients with a range of neuromuscular disorders which cause muscle cramps and spasms.
