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.

 include: 

• 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.

• AI 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).

• Requirements Analysis and Business Process Mapping for Lab Optimization led by David Hessler & Semaphore Solutions 

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.

• 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!

Join us October 5-7, for a transformative Paperless Lab Academy® (PLA) conference in Orlando, Florida held in collaboration with 20/15 Visioneers. The event will focus on education and learning the skills necessary to achieve next-generation transformation in your labs. Subject Matter Experts who care about improving laboratory processes and the quality of work life will be present and involved. Already booked are experts from AstraZeneca and Takeda.

Today’s laboratories are evolving at an unprecedented pace. The following themes reflect the real-world needs and priorities that R&D organizations must address to thrive. By adopting in-silico-first approaches, researchers can accelerate discovery and boost lab efficiency by over 60%. Robust scientific informatics and effective data management are foundational to these advancements — they form the backbone of in-silico innovation and deeper insights. Building Smart and Smarter labs is the key to making this vision a reality.

Our hands-on labs equip scientists and IT professionals with the essential skills they need to navigate and succeed in today’s dynamic R&D environment.

Event Themes

In-Silico First Science : Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)to give a head start to your science

Scientific Informatics and Data Management : Your Data is an Asset that  must be organized and contextualized properly

Creating Smart or Smarter Labs:  Advanced automation and robotics will drive model quality data and reproducible science
