Peter G. Schultz, Ph.D.
Scripps Family Chair Professor
Department of Chemistry, The Scripps Research Institute
A Chemist’s Foray Into Translational Medicine
Peter G. Schultz and his team are using a variety of cell based screens to identify and characterize the mechanisms of small
molecules that affect stem cell self renewal and differentiation, and the reprogramming of somatic cells. During his presentation,
examples of this will be discussed including the expansion of cord blood derived HSCs, in vivo neurogenesis, the selective
differentiation of MSCs to chondrocytes and osteoblasts, reversible beta cell proliferation, MEF reprogramming, human ESC
self renewal and differentiation, and the selective killing of cancer stem cells.

Jing Cheng, Ph.D.
Member, Chinese Academy of Engineering
Director, National Engineering Research Center for Beijing Biochip Technologies
CEO, CapitalBio Corporation
Cheung Kong Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Tsinghua University School of Medicine,
Beijing, China
Biochips for Translational Medicine
CapitalBio, China’s advanced diagnostics powerhouse, has been developing biochip technologies and products for 10 years
in collaboration with leading research hospitals in China to satisfy unmet demands from hospital bedsides. The products that
have been certified by China SFDA including a DNA microarray analyzing nine mutations in four human genomic and mitochondrial
genes account for approximately 80 percent of the causes of inherited deafness, including susceptibility to deafness induced
by exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics, and a protein array for autoimmune disease diagnosis. In addition, two chips that can
provide rapid sample-to-answer results in only 6 hours have also been developed, one chip identifies 17 different mycobacteria
and the second chip detects the resistance to two first line drugs, Rifampicin and Isoniazid. These two multi-facet TB tests are
certified by both the China SFDA and the European Community (CE mark). A number of other close to market products include a
HBV drug resistance detection array for Lamivudine and Adefovir and a microfluidic chip for the identification of 12 major bacterialassociated respiratory infections in two hours. Active biochip technologies for fertility and reproductive health will be discussed.
A full line of instruments from sample processing to detection of results will also be presented.
Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 3:30 pm
Robert Ballard, Ph.D.
Professor, University of Rhode Island (URI)
Graduate School of Oceanography
Founder and President, Institute for Exploration (IFE) at Mystic Aquarium, Mystic, Connecticut
Deep Sea Science and Exploration
Robert Ballard, President of the Institute for Exploration at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut and Director of the Institute for
Archaeological Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography, is best known for his 1985
discovery of the Titanic. Ballard is now using advanced technology to create a new field of research in deep water archaeology.
At the Institute for Exploration’s Challenge of the Deep exhibit hall, as well as with his Jason Foundation for Education, Ballard
hopes to inspire young people to pursue learning in science, math, and technology through exploration and discovery. This past
summer he used satellite and internet technologies to bring thousands of students around the world into direct contact with his
team while on location in the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea. In his talk, through the use of stunning high quality images and
personal accounts, Ballard will present his most recent work in deep water archaeology and the technology of tele-presence. He
discusses motivating people to think outside the box, learning how to deal with failure — that failure is just a step along the way to
success, motivating children to choose careers in math, science and engineering; and how to live your dream.

Laboratory Products Association (LPA), Monday, February 6, 7:30 – 8:30 am
LPA and SLAS host a special session to announce the preliminary results of the 2012 North American Laboratory Equipment
Purchasing Trends Study. The study addresses emerging trends such as: spending for laboratory products broken down by
categories; capital and non-capital equipment budgets; building of new laboratories; personnel issues to include the number of
people in the laboratory, hiring, and work load changes; use of social media in the laboratory; and more. K.C. Warawa of K.C.
Associates who conducted the joint survey, will present the findings and compare the results to previous studies.
Late Night With LRIG-Rapid Fire Innovation, Monday, February 6, 7 – 9 pm
A highly interactive forum which weaves together all the constituent audiences participating at SLAS2012 to discuss and learn
about the latest innovations in technology products and services impacting laboratory automation and screenin g. Participants
will enjoy quick information-bites from approximately 15 companies and a fertile ground for questions-and-answers in an
open-space atmosphere. Complimentary refreshments are served. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Admission is FREE.
Analytical and Life Science Systems Association (ALSSA), Tuesday, February 7, 7 – 9 am
This exclusive invitation-only breakfast provides an informal forum for dialogue among the senior executive of ALSSA members
attending SLAS2012 and features presentations from leading academics and users on global trends in laboratory automation

Don't miss the Gaslamp Block Party Bash, generously hosted by Premier Sponsor Agilent Technologies. SLAS2012 participants
will storm the streets of the Gaslamp Quarter in the heart of downtown San Diego. Twist n' shout along with American English
— the "Best Tribute Band" for four years running — as they fill the San Diego night with the best of the Beatles. Come hungry
and graze the outdoor buffets and open bars. Play ping pong and foosball in the fresh air or simply sit and enjoy the comfortable
lounge seating that lines the streets. Expect lots of fun at this first-of-its-kind big bash event!

Interesting, beautiful or just plain COOL!
Visualization plays an important role in the analysis and presentation of scientific work. In journal articles, images often
communicate ideas and information in ways that text, tables, charts, graphs or equations cannot. Sometimes scientific
images surpass this purpose and create shapes, patterns and designs that capture attention and imagination. These
are the images JALA and JBS seek for the 2011 Art of Science Contest.
Here’s How:
Here’s Why:
E-mail a high resolution jpg file (300+ dpi/10MB
maximum size) of your favorite cell structures, assay
results or other lab creations to [email protected].
Include your first and last name in the title of the jpg file
AND include your name, contact information and a brief
description of your image in your message.
One grand prize winner will receive an iPad 2. Up to
ten honorable mentions may be awarded and each will
receive one $50 Amazon.com gift card. In addition,
entries will be celebrated in the SLAS Member Center
at SLAS2012, at SLAS.org and Facebook, and the grand
prize winning entry will be shared with the media. One
winner per entry.
Here’s When:
Entries must be received by e-mail before 10:00 p.m. on
Thursday, December 2, 2011.
Entries are welcome from SLAS members and nonmembers.
