The spotlight is on life sciences automation
The start of the biotech calendar is filled with conferences. Earlier in January, the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference set the tone for what was to come. The growing focus on AI’s implementation in healthcare reveals great opportunities to invest in AI tools that facilitate patient engagement and enhance administrative efficacy.
Alongside the focus on AI in healthcare, AI and robotics are also set to transform how scientists and pharma firms conduct life-changing biomedical research.
As SLAS 2026 prepares to take centre stage, the premiere life sciences automation conference is ready to showcase again the ways through which automation transforms life sciences research. Seeing the strong push towards life sciences automation, we at GenoWrite are set to return as a media partner ahead of SLAS 2026.
Whether you’re attending SLAS 2026 or sitting on the sidelines, you won’t want to miss what GenoWrite will cover! In this article, we’ll cover what to expect from SLAS 2026, what we think will be the most exciting new products, and highlight the most important questions we expect to answer while at the conference.
On-the-ground coverage, feat. YouTube
Video is all the rage for marketing. Videos can highlight your achievements, your story, and your future plans real time. Videos can also record complex machinery at work. And they’re treasure troves of content. You can take a single video and produce any kind of media from it. A blog, a social media post, technical documentation. Just think of the possibilities!
With such potential for content production, GenoWrite is using SLAS 2026 as a launchpad for bringing the world of automation to the rest of the biotech industry. We’ve got full-length interviews coming up with prominent minds of the space. Here’s just a snippet of what we’ve got in store:
- YouTube shorts:Â YouTube shorts are the king of quick engagement. With the novelty of new technologies comes the riches of new tech demos. GenoWrite will leverage the opportunity to bring you onsite with live video demos of the machinery and robotics that will ease life sciences research.Â
- YouTube interviews: On top of the YouTube shorts, we’ll have full interviews ready to go. In them, we’ll cover the topics such as content marketing, networking, and the notable trends of automation in the life sciences.
Want to see our YouTube content in action? Check out the example interview that we did with Jared Kehe from Concerto Biosciences. He talks all about life sciences automation in microbiology research, and how his kChip platform is set to change how we study microbes.
The return of detailed reports
GenoWrite began its history of media partnerships with a series of written interviews of SMEs across the microbiome research space. And now, we’ll be continuing that tradition by interviewing several companies lowering the barriers of entry for life sciences research with automation.
With our coverage, we’ll also be spotlighting the following competitions. The contenders for these awards have either built or are building new products that push the boundaries of the research that’s possible in the lab.
- SLAS Ignite Award:Â This award spotlights the startups with the most promising products in the life sciences automation space. Many of these companies have already established partnerships with larger pharma firms and research groups, so expect to see further growth from these companies soon!
- SLAS New Product Award:Â The brightest minds in science have come together to develop new products for their respective companies. The nominees for this award have commercialized or commercializing a new product that resolves an obstacle when conducting life sciences research.
Here are some of the most exciting companies we’ll be speaking with for SLAS 2026. Activate your imaginations for these companies in particular!Â
- Atinary: They’re currently one of the nominees for the SLAS Ignite Award. What makes them so special? They’re launching a self-driving lab (SDL) next week!Â
- Atrandi Biosciences:Â They’re one of the nominees for the SLAS New Product Award. Their semi-permeable capsules (SPC) are specifically designed to make single-cell microbial research possible. Just think: you can lyse cells, extract their DNA, and prepare libraries for single-cell sequencing, all within a single SPC.
