Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening – SLAS

The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) is an international professional and scientific association that brings together researchers, scientists, engineers, and specialists working in laboratory science, research process automation, high-throughput screening, drug discovery, and biotechnology. The society organizes international scientific conferences and events, most notably the SLAS International Conference and Exhibition, which brings together academics, researchers, and companies to showcase the latest technologies and research in laboratory science and applied sciences. It also offers professional and educational programs, memberships, networking opportunities, and mentoring for students, researchers, and early-career professionals. Through the SLAS Travel Award, the society supports young researchers by enabling them to attend the conference and present their work to an international scientific community, while also benefiting from training, mentoring, and opportunities to build professional and academic networks.
