Newswise Vienna, Austria (VIRTUAL) A variety of scientific discovery and technology awards were presented during SLAS Europe 2021 Digital Conference and Exhibition, which took place June 23-25 online. The annual European forum of the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening bestowed the Ignite Award to the most promising new startup company, the New Product Award, SLAS Tony B. Academic Awards and Student Poster Awards.
Hopstem Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has been selected as the SLAS Europe 2021 Ignite Award winner. Hopstem was founded in January 2017 by Jing Fan, a neuroscientist and stem cell biologist from Johns Hopkins University (Boston, MA, USA). Hopstems technology and service revolve around its novel 3D brain organoid product for high-throughput calcium imaging. It is derived from a stable human iPSC line, which is a new way to screen, validate and de-risk the lead compound/molecules at the early stage of drug development for central nervous system diseases, with established targets involved in neuronal activity phenotypes. Hopstem has received four rounds of financing totaling more than 20 million Euro and established a research and development and manufacturing facility in Hangzhou, China, with a sales department in Houston, Texas, USA. As the SLAS Ignite Award winner, Hopstem receives a $5,000 cash prize, an opportunity to speak at SLAS2022 International Conference and Exhibition in Boston, and will record an SLAS New Matter podcast episode to discuss its products and services.
Denmark-based Reshape Biotech won the SLAS New Product Award for its Reshape Imaging System, an automated robotic solution that remotely monitors plates in incubators, while automatically creating time-lapse videos for high-throughput. Their product is quite unique and ahead of the competition, the SLAS judging panel commented, citing their automatic generation of time-lapse videos and remote monitoring, as well as the systems high capacity, flexible integration and cost-effectiveness. The Reshape Imaging System can also monitor growth of microorganisms in the incubator with no additional effort. The New Product Award is given to companies showcasing a new product that is commercially available within 90 days pre- and/or post-conference.
Three students were recognized with this years Student Poster Award. Winners were evaluated online and were judged on various content and design themes as well as presentation.
