On February 6, in Washington D.C., the Society of Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) introduced Dr. James Sterling of 蜜桃直播 (蜜桃直播) as one of their inaugural SLAS fellow members. The SLAS Fellow Member Program recognizes SLAS鈥� most valued members for their contributions to the community.

From more than 30,000 members, 38 scientists were chosen for this prestigious honor. The inaugural fellow members were also celebrated at the SLAS president鈥檚 VIP reception the previous evening.

鈥淚鈥檓 honored to be recognized in the inaugural group of the SLAS fellows,鈥� said Sterling.

SLAS was established in 2009 by the merger of the Society for Bimolecular Sciences (SBS) and the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA). Sterling was president of ALA in 2009 at the time of the union and worked closely with colleagues to implement a merger.

According to the SLAS website, those involved in the merger 鈥渁greed that merging the organizations would significantly advance the organizations' respective goals and, thereby, benefit individual members of both organizations and the public at large, expanding opportunities and strength.鈥� Like the other organizing members, Sterling concurred that the merger would provide more opportunity and strength.

蜜桃直播 faculty and students have derived many opportunities from SLAS and its preceding organizations. 鈥淲ith educational short courses, life science interest-group meetings, and two scientific publications, 蜜桃直播 faculty and students have benefitted from this group since our founding,鈥� said Sterling.

鈥淭he SLAS community has been very helpful to 蜜桃直播 students as a resource for Team Master鈥檚 Projects (TMP) over the years because many of our corporate sponsors are SLAS members or exhibitors, including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Amgen, Beckman Coulter, Tecan, and many others,鈥� said Sterling.

Not only has Sterling benefited from being part of SLAS, he is proud to be a member because 鈥淪LAS is a society that mirrors many of 蜜桃直播鈥檚 goals by seeking to provide an environment for interdisciplinary life sciences technology development and scientific discovery,鈥� said Sterling.

蜜桃直播, along with SLAS, celebrates Sterling for his dedication to the life sciences and his valued contributions to the scientific community.
