From February 7–11, 2026, the SLAS International Conference & Exhibition, the world’s premier event in laboratory automation and high-throughput screening, will take place at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, USA.
As a leading innovator in chemical proteomics–driven, automation- and AI-enabled drug discovery, LeadArt will present its four core technology platforms at Booth 723, engaging with global partners to explore new opportunities in drug discovery.
At the same time, we are actively recruiting Exhibition Assistants to join us on site and be part of this world-class scientific event.
I. Exhibition Information
- Conference: SLAS International Conference & Exhibition
- (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening, SLAS)
- Dates: February 7 - 11, 2026
- Venue: Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, Boston, USA
- LeadArt Booth: No. 723
II. To Global Partners: Four Core Technologies Solving Drug R&D Pain Points
At this exhibition, LeadArt focuses on end-to-end live-cell drug screening solutions and showcases four core technologies, precisely meeting the R&D needs of pharmaceutical companies and research institutions:
(1) High-Throughput Targeted Ligand Screening in Live-Cell - AI+INTRAP®
The INTRAP® technology(WO 2025/209553 A1), combined with the cutting-edge iTarget AI model (jointly developed with Zhejiang University team) and automated equipment, builds a "wet-dry experiment closed-loop" automated drug screening platform. It not only significantly improves R&D efficiency and expands target coverage but also provides customized drug-finding solutions for "undruggable targets", breaking through traditional screening bottlenecks.
(2) Automated Cell & Drug Handling Equipment Matrix
Covering Cube automated incubators, Eve automated cell workstations, Mini-Eve automated cell workstations, and Hive sample management systems, it realizes full-process automation of cell culture and compound management. It ensures stable cell culture quality, enhances sample management efficiency, and helps laboratories "reduce costs and increase efficiency".
(3) Live-Cell Drug Target Database Building
Chem(Pro)2, developed in-house by LeadArt, is the world’s largest live-cell–level database integrating small-molecule probes/ligands with human proteins.
Supporting subscription, licensing, and customized solutions, Chem(Pro)2 can be combined with LeadArt’s automated "Target Space Station" to build proprietary, dynamic drug–target interaction databases at the live-cell level.
This powerful data platform enables applications in drug repurposing, toxicity evaluation, and precision medicine, delivering actionable insights for next-generation drug discovery.
(4) Automated Target & Binding Site Identification Services
Based on probe-based chemoproteomics technology, we precisely capture authentic binding interactions between proteins and bioactive molecules in live cells.This approach enables both elucidation of the biological mechanisms of active compounds and the construction of high-precision target–compound binding models, providing clear guidance for drug optimization and mechanism-of-action studies.
