About SLAS
Transforming Research by Empowering the Life Sciences Community

SLAS leads the pursuit of research excellence by offering tangible resources such as its international conferences and symposia, scientific publishing, and opportunities for continuing education, grants and scholarships, professional collaboration, networking and career advancement.
Strategy & Governance
Biology, technology, engineering, research – no single aspect of life sciences is more important than the other, and the successful translation of discoveries and technologies requires a rich knowledge of each area.
