Joseph De Rutte, M.S., Recognized with Innovation Award at SLAS2020
SLAS
On Wednesday, January 29, immediately following the SLAS2020 Closing Keynote, Joseph De Rutte, M.S., (University of Los Angeles, CA, USA) was awarded this year's Innovation Award along with a $10,000 cash prize. De Rutte received the award as recognition of his exceptional podium presentation, "High-Throughput Encapsulation and Selection of Cells Based on Antibody Secretion Using Lab-on-a-Particle Technology." In his presentation, De Rutte discusses a particle-templated droplet, i.e. "Dropicle," he and his team created that can be used to form monodisperse emulsions that encapsulate single cells, requiring only standard lab equipment for the end user. De Rutte was also a SLAS2020 Tony B. Academic Award winner. Watch for a follow-up interview from SLAS soon!

Live Webinar Announcement: The Materials for Tomorrow, Today
SLAS
Join Alán Aspuru-Guzik, Professor of Chemistry and Computer Science, (University of Toronto) on Tuesday, February 18 at 1:00 p.m. CST for his LIVE webinar, The Materials for Tomorrow, Today. Aspuru-Guzik’s presentation will center around materials discovery and his design of “material acceleration platforms” (MAPs) which are a combination of AI, high-throughput quantum chemistry (HTQC) and robotics that have allowed him and his team to utilize screening approaches beyond what is traditionally available via computer. This webinar is free for SLAS Premier, Platinum and Corporate Members and only $10 for SLAS Basic (non-dues paying) Members and Non-members.

Last Chance to Submit a Poster and Save on Sample Management Registration
SLAS
Next Monday, 10 February, is the last day to submit a poster abstract for presentation at this year’s European Sample Management Symposium (Berlin, 16-17 March). It’s also the last day to register at the reduced Early Bird Registration Rate. If that’s not enough to sway you to reserve your spot immediately, we hope the updated program, featuring content on the current complexities of maintaining sample quality, process efficiency, metadata and miniaturization, will. This year’s event is a must-attend for sample management professionals from bench scientists to senior leaders who are interested in obtaining fresh research and solutions from industry and academic experts.
RESERVE YOUR SPOT, SUBMIT YOUR RESEARCH

Laborless, Automated Microfluidic Tandem Cell Processor for Visualizing Intracellular Molecules of Mammalian Cells
Analytical Chemistry
Visualization and quantification of intracellular molecules of mammalian cells are crucial steps in clinical diagnosis, drug development, and basic biological research. However, conventional methods rely mostly on labor-intensive, centrifugation-based manual operations for exchanging the cell carrier medium and have limited reproducibility and recovery efficiency. Here we present a microfluidic cell processor that can perform four-step exchange of carrier medium, simply by introducing a cell suspension and fluid reagents into the device.

Pneumococcus Vaccines Designed Using Predictive Modeling Could Nearly Halve Disease Rates
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Studies by an international research team suggest that rates of disease caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae could be substantially reduced by changing how vaccines are designed. The scientists combined genomic data, models of bacterial evolution, and predictive modeling to identify how vaccines could be optimized for specific age groups, geographic regions, and communities of bacteria.

Flu and HIV Drugs Show Efficacy Against Coronavirus
The Scientist
A combination of flu and HIV medications may be able to treat severe cases of 2019-nCoV, the new coronavirus that has emerged in China, according to doctors in Thailand who have been caring for infected patients. The team's approach, which used large doses of the flu drug oseltamivir combined with HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir, improved the conditions of several patients at the Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok.

Fast Screening for Potential New Catalysts
Phys.org
A new concept makes it possible to identify the most promising among an abundance of possible element combinations. The success of the energy transition depends significantly on efficient electrocatalysts, for instance for fuel cells or the reduction of CO2. Special alloys made from five or more elements are promising candidates. A team of researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum has developed a concept in order to quickly screen an abundance of possible element combinations to identify which are worth optimizing.

Another HIV Vaccine Strategy Fails in Large-Scale Study
Science Magazine
The failure-ridden search for a vaccine that can stop the AIDS virus has delivered yet another frustrating defeat. The HIV vaccine that had moved furthest along in human testing does not work, and the $104 million trial in South Africa evaluating it has been stopped early. "There's absolutely no evidence of efficacy," says Glenda Gray, who heads the study and is president of the South African Medical Research Council. "Years of work went into this. It's a huge disappointment."

Immune Responses to Tuberculosis Mapped Across 3 Species
Lab Manager
Tuberculosis is one of the world's most vexing public health problems. About 1.5 million people died from this bacterial lung infection in 2018, and the World Health Organization estimates that one-quarter of the world's population — some 2 billion people, mostly in developing countries — are infected with the bacteria that causes TB.
For decades, scientists have been studying the deadly disease in mice and other animal models to develop drug therapies and vaccines to treat or prevent the infection.

Scientists Discover New Non-Sticky Gels
Science Daily
Scientists from the University of Bristol and Université Paris-Saclay have discovered a new class of material — non-sticky gels.
Until now gels have been made of particles that stick to one another to form a network.
The research team, whose findings are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, have now shown that networks and from and persist without the particles sticking to one another if the particles behave as liquid crystals.
