SLAS recognized Paul Ju Sung Hung, PhD of COMBiNATi, Inc. this afternoon at SLAS2018 in San Diego, CA with the SLAS Innovation Award. Hung received the award as recognition of his exceptional podium presentation at the SLAS Annual Conference, Microfluidic Siphoning Array (MSA) – A Novel Scalable Digital PCR Integrated Platform. Hung accepted a $10,000 cash prize as part of one of the highest honors given at the conference.
Each year, SLAS Innovation Award finalists are identified based on their submitted abstracts which demonstrate exceedingly innovative research and discovery in life sciences and contribute to the exploration of technologies in the laboratory, exceed a benchmark or milestone in screening or the lead discovery process, or demonstrate an advanced and integrated use of mature technologies. The award finalist is then selected by a panel of judges who attend and score each podium presentation on the impact the work has on life sciences and technology, originality and creativity, quality of the science, and the oral presentation.
Ten 2018 SLAS Innovation Award finalists were selected to compete for this year’s cash prize, and Hung was announced as the winner at the closing ceremony and keynote presentation at SLAS2018 today. In addition to Hung, the other nine finalists who presented their work throughout the week at SLAS2018 are as follows:
