EU-OPENSCREEN Director General Philip Gribbon Elected SLAS President for 2025

The EU-OPENSCREEN team is excited to highlight that this week's SLAS conference in San Diego, California, will see Phil Gribbon becoming the SLAS President for 2025. The SLAS is the largest professional association of academic, industry, and government researchers focused on laboratory automation, technology, and tools.

Philip has volunteered for SLAS and its predecessor organizations for over 15 years, driven by his ambition to advance early drug discovery and bring medicines to patients. The SLAS mission to educate the next generation of drug discovery scientists, particularly in industry, aligns closely with EU-OPENSCREEN’s goal of training scientists and building capacity for chemical biology and screening in Europe.

Philip looks forward to working in both roles this year, especially as the next SLAS Europe meeting will take place in his hometown of Hamburg in May 2025. For more information on SLAS 2025 in Hamburg please see here.
