Mark your calendar for November 13-14, 2020, in Boston, MA, to attend a brand new event from SLAS — the 2020 SLAS Americas Sample Management Symposium: Managing Samples from Bench to Clinic. With a program curated by practicing sample management experts, this event will impart the latest education, case studies and best practice in sample management, with a focus on drug discovery processes.

Prevalent trends that will be addressed at the Symposium include:

• The rules of sample storage and management of samples are being rewritten — biological compounds and samples require the same attention and care previously paid only to small molecule libraries.
• Sample management groups increasingly support a growing array of human disease relevant assays and models.
• Quality programs and regulatory awareness are necessary when handling and providing samples in support of clinical studies and regulated bioanalysis.
• Ever-growing collaboration between academic, government and commercial institutions is forcing an increased emphasis on best practices for sharing samples. Learn how your organization should navigate this changing landscape
