HANDS ON LABS

Advance your skill set!

Attend an Interactive, Hands-On Lab at Paperless Lab Academy® USA 2025.

Building skills will help you thrive through change. And, as we’ve all witnessed, technology changes from business process management to AI and LLM are coming at us fast and furious. That’s why 20/15 Visioneers has put together four hands-on, interactive labs at The Paperless Lab Academy® USA, October 5-7, 2025.

Seats are limited to 20 registrants/workshop Act now!

Choose from the following topics:

1. Discover Cheminformatics led by Subhas Chakravorty, Ph.D. 

The powerful fusion of computational algorithms and chemical expertise transforming modern drug discovery. Learn to digitally encode chemical structures, explore chemical diversity and navigate chemical space, build predictive QSAR and machine learning models, and rapidly analyze bioactivity and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) properties. Acquire practical skills with Python and RDKit, crucial for drug repurposing, lead optimization, and creating novel molecules with tailored properties. Explore these techniques using datasets derived from current marketed drugs. This structured course takes you from foundational concepts to advanced techniques, providing hands-on expertise essential for pharmaceutical research and molecular innovation.

2. Prompt Engineering for Scientists led by Raminderpal Singh, Ph.D.

Scientists regularly use tools like ChatGPT in work and home.  But how do you power-house their use without any software skills?  It’s called Prompt Engineering and it’s an art to get right.  In this Lab, you'll design the key parameters for a clinical 1 trial for an aging compound!  We’ll set you up with best-practice  methods, so you won’t be lost.  But you will be challenged to build effective prompts.  Everything you learn will be reusable back in your workplace (and at home).

3. Business Process Mapping for ELN Optimization led by David Hessler
For thirty years ELN products have been used by research and development labs, and today the still often are not delivering on their promise. Why is this? One answer is that you first need a map of how data is generated, progresses, and is consumed inside and outside your labs. In this workshop, we take a hands-on approach to analysis of the subsystems which produce and analyze data, and we produce easy-to-understand business process mapping which defines the actors, systems, and data which make up the informatics ecosystem. If you want to really leverage the value of an ELN, you need a map which describes the high-quality touch points, and the high risk integrations.

4. Building No-code LLM Workflows for Your Lab led by Raminderpal Singh, Ph.D.
AI adds to automation, and LLMs add to AI.  But, without some insider know-how, integrating these tools into experimental workflows can be complex and lead to much technical debt.  And when software IT folks are not available, it can be frustrating.   In this lab, we’ll get our hands dirty learning about the world of “no-code” LLM tools.  This will give you a clear understanding for how they can help you build and run better experiments.   We will cover methods to ensure data privacy & security.  Coming out of the lab, you will be energized and ready to try out different LLM-based tools in your experiments!
