SLAS Announces $100,000 Graduate Education Fellowship Grant Awarded to Benjamin David of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

For Immediate Release

Oak Brook, IL (May 5, 2022) – The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) is pleased to announce Benjamin David, a Ph.D. candidate from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (Ann Arbor, MI, USA), as the 2022 SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant recipient.

"I am excited about this opportunity," David comments. "The SLAS grant offers the freedom to explore interesting developments as they emerge from research. As I progress through this project, if I find an interesting aspect of the research, I have the freedom to pause and explore that new area. That wouldn't be possible with other types of grants tied to specific work."

The SLAS Grant will cover David's exploration of sequential transcriptional profiling, a tool that holds potential to unlock new areas in life sciences research while improving efficiency, practicality and reducing costs through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to guide research selections. Transcriptional profiling, or measuring the relative change of RNA transcripts, is a powerful, genome-wide tool for measuring gene expression in response to varying experimental stimuli. While next-generation sequencers have rapidly decreased the cost of RNA sequencing, most of these small-scale experiments study a single stimulus in isolation and do not scale to larger studies.

“I am interested in studying many different stimuli at once because it is more reflective of the complexity of biological systems,” explains David, who began this work at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC, Urbana, IL, USA). “What I propose is a process of many sequential experiments guided by an AI technique known as reinforcement learning (RL) to help decide where we go next after the first and every subsequent experiment. Our goal is to find compelling genotypes that lead to phenotypes that we're interested in studying further.”

David plans to leverage the immense knowledge base available in SLAS membership to support his grant research. "I anticipate a few logistical challenges in this research that have a lot to do with automation," he comments. “It's not feasible for me to set up large-scale experiments solo without fear of making mistakes from the sheer volume of things to accomplish. As I'm able to get more involved with SLAS, I know I will encounter a lot of great ideas for how to approach quality control, logistical issues, working with the liquid handling robots in our lab and much more.”

Judging criteria for the SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant is based on the applicability of the student researcher’s work to laboratory automation and screening, originality and creativity of the scientific approach, quality of the science, presentation of the research objectives, and the quality and capability of the institution and its educational program to support the grant.

The SLAS Grant Program was introduced in 2015 to facilitate educational opportunities for outstanding students pursuing graduate degrees related to quantitative biosciences and/or life sciences R&D. This program helps to realize a fundamental tenet of SLAS’s mission: to advance the fields of laboratory science and technology by nurturing the next generation of professional scientists.

Ulri Nicole Lee of the University of Washington Awarded $100,000 SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant

The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) Announces $100,000 Graduate Education Fellowship Grant Awarded to Ulri Nicole Lee of the University of Washington

Newswise — Oak Brook, IL (USA) – Ulri Nicole Lee, Ph.D. candidate, (University of Washington) is the 2020 recipient of the SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant. This is the fifth year the SLAS grant has been awarded to an outstanding student researcher.

Lee will receive $100,000 awarded over two years to expand her research on the development of a device that uses mist to capture bioaerosols such as  Aspergillus fumigatus , a prolific fungus that is harmful to those with preexisting lung conditions, and fluidics to collect the sample for analysis. This device could be used in homes, work, and community environments to collect and store samples for downstream analysis and ultimately lead researchers to a better understanding of environmental exposures on human health. 

“Researchers and clinicians are currently ill-equipped to pinpoint the patient-specific triggers for asthma, limiting our understanding of the effects the environment can have on our health,” says Lee. “My research aims to fill this need by providing a portable air-sampling device that identifies bioaerosols on a species-level, such as fungal spores and bacteria (known irritants for asthma patients) and then adapt the design to particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).” 

Judging criteria for the SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant is based on the quality and capability of the student’s institution and its educational program to support the grant, endorsement and commitment by the institution and faculty advisor with the student applicant, the quality and record of the specific research program and the quality and promise of the research being proposed, among other factors. 

The SLAS Grant Program was introduced in 2015 to facilitate educational opportunities for outstanding students pursuing graduate degrees related to quantitative biosciences and/or life sciences R&D. This program helps to realize a fundamental tenet of SLAS’s mission: to advance the fields of laboratory science and technology by nurturing the next generation of professional scientists. The application period for the 2021 SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant runs from August through December 2020.

SLAS (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening) is an international community of 16,000 professionals and students dedicated to life sciences discovery and technology.

Applications are due by October 23 to be considered for 2016 grant award.

The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) is currently accepting applications to be considered for the Society’s new Graduate Education Fellowship Grant Program, which supports graduate students looking to pursue a career in the life sciences.  Applications from qualifying educational institutions, on behalf of specific graduate students, received by the October 23, 2015 deadline will vie to be awarded up to $50,000 per year (for a maximum of two years).  The first recipient of this grant program will be announced in April 2016.  Program details and a link to the application can be found on the SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant web page.

Applications must be made by qualifying educational institutions that offer graduate programs related to quantitative biosciences or life sciences research and development.  Student candidates are not eligible to apply for these Grants directly. Rather, the application must come from the candidate Student’s academic institution.  Students can facilitate the effort by coordinating the application process with their Primary Research Investigator and/or academic mentor from their educational institution.  Details for both institutions and prospective applicant students can be found on the SLAS Web site.

Originally announced by SLAS President Dean Ho at SLAS2015 in February in Washington, DC, the new grant program was established with $1 million in seed funding by SLAS.  “Education has always been a cornerstone of SLAS’s purpose, and one of the most powerful things that we do,” says Ho. “Implementing this fund takes our support of scientific education, innovation and careers to the next level. As a global Society, we are committed to fostering continued scientific innovation and cultivating the next generation of professionals who will drive that innovation, which will ultimately result in better, more accurate research.” The SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant Program is administered under the SLAS Education Fellowship Grant Review Panel and the SLAS Awards and Grants Advisory Committee.  Applications will be evaluated from three different perspectives: quality of the applicant student, quality of the student’s mentor, and quality of the applicant educational institution.  Judging criteria will consider alignment with the SLAS mission, the caliber and track record of the institution, qualifications and achievements of the student, creativity of the proposed research, and other variables.  Additional details can be found on the Grant Program web page.

“SLAS has always done a great job of bringing graduate students and young people into the organization to assist in their development into outstanding scientists and technologists,” said Susan M. Lunte, Ph.D., University of Kansas, and chair of the SLAS Education Fellowship Grant Review Panel. “With this fellowship, we’re looking to provide an opportunity for the best of the best – those scientists doing exciting, state-of-the-art work who will be leaders in the field as they move forward in their careers.”

The $1 million with which SLAS is seeding this new program is in addition to the more than $150,000 the Society allocates annually to underwrite student programs and participation at the annual SLAS International Conference and Exhibition by way of the Tony B. Academic Scholarship Program, student-focused programming, discounted memberships and journal access, career services and related skills development.  In order to sustain and expand the SLAS Educational Fund, the Society intends to conduct future fundraising initiatives among SLAS members and the industries SLAS serves.

SLAS Grant Advances Translation Technology for CAR-T Cell Research – Samuel Berryman

March 11, 2024

slas graduate education fellowship grant

In less than a year after receiving his SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant, Samuel Berryman moved from grant winner to Innovation AveNEW exhibitor. His academic research rapidly expanded into a start-up company with a marketable product – all with the support of SLAS and its network of life sciences leaders.

“The first pass through any life sciences experiment is always about learning – don’t be afraid to be messy, make mistakes or break things. It’s the second pass that’s about refining and reproducing,” says Samuel Berryman , a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC, Vancouver, BC, Canada), and recipient of the 2023 SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant .

Samuel Berryman.

Berryman is a rapid-fire solution finder as he works to overcome the limitations associated with the analysis of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapies. He even wrote in his application for the SLAS grant, “I am best suited for research because I cannot just work on a small portion of a project. I need to take it apart and learn how every aspect of it fits together.” Berryman laughs and affirms that this is still the case one year into his two-year grant.

In the process of advancing his research objectives outlined in the grant proposal, Berryman invented a platform to evaluate CAR-T cells at the single-cell level, developed a process to manufacture the technology, started a business – ImageCyte – and applied to be on Innovation Ave NEW at SLAS2024 .

“We’re expanding the work in a number of different ways, but starting a company was the really big surprise from the last year!” says Berryman. “Our technology has many applications beyond what we originally envisioned. I’ve been working on new projects that potential customers would like to see, ranging from single-cell drug screening to spheroid generation and completing quick proof-of-concept demonstrations.”

Dr. Hongshen Ma.

Sharing this vision is Berryman’s advisor, Hongshen Ma, Ph.D. , a UBC professor who is also his partner in the new business venture. “We have all these fantastic AI tools that have been used to analyze images to identify people and objects. Now we can use this approach to assess the properties of therapeutic cells,” Ma explains.

“Currently, it’s difficult to take pictures of cells and associate them with their type or function,” Ma continues. “While this information is likely available in cell images, we need a good way to associate the images with outcomes of assays. The device that Sam has built will be good for this – we can put single cells into these chambers, take high-quality images, and then assay each cell to associate the cell image with its function and behavior.” Ma adds that the resulting data can be compiled, shared and built upon by other scientists.

Berryman’s device features an array of millions of nano-well chambers that have been photolithographically fabricated inside standard glass-bottom micro-well plates. Researchers deposit single cells into individual chambers to observe cell characteristics ranging from cell phenotypes to dynamic behaviors.

In his research, Berryman is placing individual CAR-T cells and target cancer cells in the nano-wells to perform a killing assay to identify functionally superior CAR-T cells. He will acquire high-quality images of these cells to use AI approaches to identify cell morphologies indicative of highly functional CAR-T cells. This work will provide an improved assay to perform quality control of CAR-T cell function.

Eyes Wide Open

Berryman, whose academic pursuits switched from mechanical to biomedical engineering during his graduate studies, appreciates the constant opportunity to continue learning in life sciences. “You don’t just learn one thing and then do it over and over again. You have to constantly be learning and adapting. With everything you do, there is the opportunity for it to have a lasting impact in medicine, which is deeply rewarding,” he comments.

He compares this to the manufacturing process associated with his newly minted nano-well device. “It’s one thing to make a device that you use a couple of times in an academic lab, however, when you want to make devices that could be used by external users, there’s another threshold to meet in terms of quality control,” comments Berryman.

At the start of his grant, Berryman met with manufacturing companies to discuss mass producing the device by licensing the intellectual property, but it quickly became apparent that the best option was to develop a process to manufacture the device himself.

slas graduate education fellowship grant

The opportunity on SLAS Innovation Ave NEW offered Berryman a chance to showcase the device and present its usefulness to a broader audience of life sciences researchers.

“Taking part in Innovation Ave NEW at SLAS2024 and giving an SLAS Ignite presentation was an incredible experience for us, especially being a company at such an early stage,” Berryman comments.

“While we had the opportunity to build brand awareness with potential customers, we found that it was even more important to make initial contact with many of the exhibiting companies. Following the conference, we are going to be translating those conversations into new manufacturing opportunities, development projects and potential distribution agreements. This was all made possible by the sponsorship we received through the Innovation Ave NEW platform. We highly recommend other life sciences start-up companies take advantage of the opportunity. It is an accelerant that will drive your company towards success.”

With A Little Help from Friends

“The SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant is a great opportunity, because it gives you the platform to present your research first and foremost. It also opens the door to taking part in the SLAS community,” says Berryman. “Whether the applicant is looking for a postdoc, a job in industry or – as in my case – a commercial partner, there are so many opportunities to connect with people at SLAS.”

Berryman describes himself as fortunate that SLAS is sponsoring the journey of his technology from research to commercialization and adds that the encouragement from Ma also has been invaluable.

“He’s been extremely supportive along the way, and as we commercialize this device together, we’re shifting from me working for him to working together as a team. It’s an interesting transition,” Berryman says, adding that he continues to look for ways to pay forward the support he’s received.

“You learn a lot from the people you mentor and teach. Mentoring is a great opportunity to help solidify your own knowledge,” he comments. For the past five years, Berryman has been a teaching assistant for the mechatronic product design course at UBC. “I helped run the labs and developed some of the course design. I loved doing this. Among the 40 or so people that you teach, you develop a few different approaches to help others understand the subject matter. This gives you an opportunity to learn the material more thoroughly.”

A try- and try-again approach is one Berryman recommends to others as they pursue science. “There are so many positive learning

outcomes that develop from making small mistakes and escaping from the lab for a break,” comments the newly-wed Berryman, who enjoys spending hours out of the lab with his wife, Rachael, and the couple’s dog, Dante – and occasionally hitting the links for a few holes of golf.

“Science is not easy,” he says. “The advice I give is, don’t restrict your research or your ambition to familiar territory – that’s not how you learn. Instead, seek excellent mentors to guide you through this unknown territory and make your decisions based on the potential to expand your knowledge base. Even if you fail along the way, you gain wisdom to use toward whatever comes next.”
