SLAS Technology Idea Exchange - NexusXp People's Choice Award Winners: A Future for Drug Discovery
Select the "View On-Demand Recording" button to begin. | 60 minutes
Select the "View On-Demand Recording" button to begin. | 60 minutes
This SLAS Technology Idea Exchange features three companies from the inaugural SLAS NexusXp People's Choice Award-winning collaboration: "TEST," as the collaborators present The Future of Drug Discovery: DeepCure's AI and Robotics Driven Pipeline.
DeepCure is accelerating drug discovery through AI, robotics and advanced informatics. A fully integrated hardware and software solution was deployed to synthesize, purify and advance 5,000 to 10,000 new compounds every month through the development pipeline. Design-Make-Test-Analyze (DMTA) was fully automated and increased laboratory efficiency by orders of magnitude. This was accomplished through deep collaboration between DeepCure, Waters and Biosero.
Representing TEST for this T.I.E. are Thrasyvoulos Karydis (DeepCure), Dustin Whitson (Biosero), and Andrew Leightner (Waters), with Hayley Dyer (Biosero) and SLAS Scientific Manager Emily Yamasaki, Ph.D., serving as moderators.

Success: What's the science behind it?
Just like the scientific method, failure is an essential part of the process, and is often inevitable. Knowing how to turn failure into success makes most people's heads spin, however the solution is simple: don't work harder...work smarter.
It might sound hard to believe, but there's evidence to support the hypothesis: Failing early and making quick recoveries will predict future success.
Moderating the discussion on career navigation is 10x Genomics Senior Manager, Single Cell New Product Development, Meiye Wu, M.A. Pharmacology, Ph.D. Wu invites all students and early career scientists to join her discussion on how to navigate the world of science, technology and industry as a young scientist.

Aerial Precision Phenotyping in Agriculture

The development of seed and agrichemical products requires a wide range of varieties, environments, and management practices to be evaluated and advanced. Traditionally, much of the field data collected was done through manual data collection methods. More recently the use of remote sensing and image analytics has supplemented, and in some cases replaced manual data collection leading to a greater data volume, better signal to noise data, and improved model predictions to the cheaper and faster advancement of quality agricultural products.

SLAS Roadblocks to Research: Gripping Challenges
Open to view video.
Open to view video.
While robots are the movers that keep automated experiments going 24/7, what about the grippers and gripper fingers that are attached to the robots, grasping precious plates and tubes? While robot arms are often the center of discussion, this Roadblocks to Research event will focus on overcoming the challenges of grasping different plates across a wide range of instrument nests.
In the robot industry, it is often said that “A robot is only as good as the gripper attached to it”.
