Highlights from FAOBMB 2026: Advancing Preclinical Research Together with LAB-A-PORTER & Our Global Partners
That’s a wrap on four incredible days at the 32nd FAOBMB Conference held at the medical campus of The University of Hong Kong (HKU Med)!
Organized by the Hong Kong Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (HKSBMB), this year’s conference brought together leading scientists, researchers, and innovators from across the region to share groundbreaking discoveries in life sciences. As a proud Silver Sponsor, LAB-A-PORTER was thrilled to be at the heart of these inspiring discussions at Booth 17.
Fueling Breakthroughs in Preclinical Research
At LAB-A-PORTER, we are more than just a distributor; we are your preclinical research partner in the transition from bench discovery to clinical reality. We understand that modern research demands speed, precision, and physiological relevance. Our mission is to bridge the gap by providing streamlined access to a focused selection of high-quality tools. By acting as global sourcing specialists, we offer an agile platform that curates validated reagents from global innovators.
Throughout the event, our team had the pleasure of engaging with researchers to discuss tailored solutions across our four focus research areas:
-
Disease Modeling: Providing comprehensive tools for in vitro and in vivo disease modeling, including organoid research and iPSC disease modeling.
-
Drug Discovery: Delivering quality tools for drug target identification, biomarker discovery, and iPSC-based drug discovery.
-
Cell & Gene Therapy Research: Supporting workflows from cell isolation, activation, and expansion to gene editing and cryopreservation.
-
Tissue Engineering Research: Sourcing essential tools for organ regeneration, biomaterials research, and advanced 3D cell culture.
Empowering Discovery with Global Supplier Partners
Behind every reliable data point is a high-quality reagent. A major highlight at Booth 17 was showcasing the comprehensive portfolios of our global supplier partners:
-
Bio X Cell: Featuring ultra-pure, low-endotoxin antibodies trusted globally for in vivo functional studies, immunology, and organoid research.
-
Qkine: Delivering bioactive, high-purity recombinant growth factors and proteins tailored for stem cell and organoid culture.
-
TheWell Bioscience: Specializing in advanced 3D cell culture systems and highly tunable, animal-free hydrogels to drive realistic disease modelling and tissue engineering.
-
Allegrow: Offering innovative, fast, and flexible solutions for T and NK cell expansion, directly accelerating breakthroughs in Cell & Gene Therapy (CGT) research.
-
GeneTex: Providing a comprehensive selection of rigorously validated recombinant and polyclonal antibodies to support critical cell biology research and target detection.
-
abm (Applied Biological Materials): Supplying a wide array of specialized life science reagents, including viral vectors, cell lines, and specialized tools for early discovery.
By bridging local researchers with global innovations, we aim to ensure that scientists in Hong Kong and beyond have seamless access to top-tier laboratory tools.
