SLAS Europe 2025 Pre-Reads

SLAS Europe 2025 in Hamburg, Germany, 20-22 May, will feature scientific sessions in three tracks delivered by a diverse group of scientists, academic researchers and industry professionals from around the world.

For a sample of what SLAS Europe 2025 has in store for you, the editors of SLAS Discovery and SLAS Technology have curated this article collection of pre-reads for the conference. The articles are organized by each of the three tracks:

Advances in Drug Discovery

• Drug repurposing screen for the rare disease ataxia-telangiectasia
• Rapid-response RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay platform for coronavirus antiviral high-throughput screening
• Bioassay protocol metadata annotation: Proposed standards adoption
• A novel approach to generate enzyme-free single cell suspensions from archived tissues for miRNA sequencing

Advances in Laboratory Automation

• Novel high-content and open-source image analysis tools for profiling mitochondrial morphology in neurological cell models
• Automation of multiplex biochemical assays to enhance productivity and reduce cycle time using a modular robotic platform
• Challenges and opportunities of next generation therapeutics: A compound management perspective
• Merging cultures and disciplines to create a drug discovery ecosystem at Virginia commonwealth university: Medicinal chemistry, structural biology, molecular and behavioral pharmacology and computational chemistry

Screening Applications & Diagnostics

• Genetic diagnosis of peripheral blood interleukin-1 in premature infants based on bioinformatics and optical imaging
• Application of magnetic resonance imaging and artificial intelligence algorithms in cancer screening
• Employing synthetic biology to expand antibiotic discovery
• Label-free high-throughput screening via acoustic ejection mass spectrometry put into practice
• Highly scalable arrayed CRISPR mediated gene silencing in primary lung small airway epithelial cells
