The SLAS 2026 Sample Management Symposium will feature five main sessions: Bio-Sample Management – Best Practices, Challenges and Experiences, Compound Management's Added Value, Physical Lab Moves -- Challenges and Best Pract

Why sample integrity, robust workflows, and operational rigor are as important as analytical innovation in translating complex biological data into better patient care

How patient-derived tumor organoids, high-content screening, and advanced analytical readouts could provide more predictive models for cancer drug discovery

How complex biological models, larger datasets, and laboratory automation are shaping drug discovery decisions

This session will examine how research organizations -- from large pharmaceutical companies to lean biotechs -- build and sustain the informatics and IT infrastructure that powers scientific discovery.

This session will comprise short talks describing successes, challenges, and future opportunities applying AI/ML models and applications to sample inventory management, logistics, and workflows.

This session will explore the critical aspects of establishing a robust sample management framework capable of integrating diverse research areas.
