SLAS Discovery

SLAS Discovery (Advancing the Science of Drug Discovery) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) in partnership with SAGE Publications. The editor-in-chief is Robert M. Campbell, Ph.D. (Eli Lilly and Company). The journal explores how scientists develop and utilize novel technologies and/or approaches to provide and characterize chemical and biological tools to understand and treat human disease. This includes scientific and technical advances in target identification/validation; biomarker discovery; assay development; virtual, medium- or high-throughput screening; lead generation/optimization; chemical biology; and informatics. The journal was published from 1996 through 2016 with the title Journal of Biomolecular Screening. Its name changed in 2017 to more accurately reflect the evolution of its editorial scope.^[1]
