More than 900 professionals from the global life sciences, discovery and technology community will gather in Barcelona today for the first day of SLAS Europe 2019. The scientific program will kick off with keynote address on Peptides for Molecular Recognition and Brain Delivery presented by Professor Ernest Giralt, Ph.D., a group leader at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) where he is also the head of the Chemistry & Structural Biology Node. Dr. Giralt is an internationally renowned scientist in the field of peptide synthesis, medicinal chemistry, structure determination and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), and an expert on the design of therapeutic ligands for interaction with protein surfaces. He is one of the founding members of the European Peptide Society, as well as editor of The Journal of Peptide Science. He is an inventor who holds 20 patents and serves on the advisory boards of a number of pharmaceutical and biotech companies. LEARN MORE

Through August 20, access July's SLAS Discovery feature article, "3D Cell-Based Assays for Drug Screens: Challenges in Imaging, Image Analysis, and High-Content Analysis." Tijmen H. Booij, Ph.D., (NEXUS Personalized Health Technologies, Switzerland) details his analysis of the switch from using 2D to 3D cell cultures in drug discovery and the challenges it poses for high-throughput screening and high-content analysis. However, by introducing more relevant cell models in early preclinical drug discovery, combined with high-content imaging and automated analysis, the quality of compounds progressing to preclinical stages in the drug development pipeline is expected to increase.

Traditionally, scientists have used light, X-rays and electrons to peer inside tissues and cells. Today, scientists can trace thread-like fibers of nerves throughout the brain and even watch living mouse embryos conjure the beating cells of a rudimentary heart. But there's one thing these microscopes can't see: what's happening in cells at the genomic level. Now, biophysicists have invented an unorthodox type of imaging dubbed "DNA microscopy" that can do just that.

Genetically engineered trees that provide fire-resistant lumber for homes. Modified organs that won't be rejected. Synthetic microbes that monitor your gut to detect invading disease organisms and kill them before you get sick.
These are just some of the exciting advances likely to emerge from the 20-year-old field of engineering biology, or synthetic biology, which is now mature enough to provide solutions to a range of societal problems, according to a new roadmap released June 19 by the Engineering Biology Research Consortium.

MIT chemical engineers have devised a new way to create nanoemulsions, very tiny droplets of one liquid suspended within another. They also developed a way to easily convert nanoemulsions to a gel when they reach body temperature, which could be useful for developing materials that can deliver medication when rubbed on skin or injected into the body.

Scientists in Japan have developed a way of amplifying DNA on a scale suitable for use in the emerging fields of DNA-based computing and molecular robotics. By enabling highly sensitive nucleic acid detection, their method could improve disease diagnostics and accelerate the development of biosensors, for example, for food and environmental applications.

A pair of enzymes from the human gut microbiome can convert type A red blood cells to type O red blood cells. These enzymes might, with further development, help make universal blood that could be transfused into any patient, even if their blood type is unknown.

Like a tiny needle in a sprawling hayfield, a single crystal grain measuring just tens of millionths of a meter — found in a borehole sample drilled in Central Siberia — had an unexpected chemical makeup.
And a specialized X-ray technique in use at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) confirmed the sample's uniqueness and paved the way for its formal recognition as a newly discovered mineral: ognitite.

Northwestern University has opened the largest biomedical academic research facility in the U.S., and the new 12-story building will add more than 58,000m2 of research space to the university's academic medical campus in Chicago. The school currently receives more than $700 million in external research funding annually, and it is estimated that the additional space and investigators will increase Northwestern's grant awards $1.5 billion over the next decade.
