Earlier this year, Life Science Tennessee worked alongside the Tennessee Rare Disease Advisory Council, The Kennedy Ladd Foundation, Inc. and a coalition of statewide supporters to pass the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) alignment for newborn screening in the state. The bill allows for early detection of rare diseases so that prompt treatment can be administered to prevent potential death and disabilities. This success would not be possible without State Senator Becky Duncan Massey and countless supporters across the state.

We greatly appreciate the efforts of LaunchTN, Life Science Tennessee, and countless others who helped secure SBIR/STTR matching funds for #Tennessee companies. Over the years, our team has been very fortunate to receive continuous support from the #NIH to advance our data platform and build a robust #biomarker discovery program. NIH SBIR/STTR funding fuels the heartbeat of innovation at Decode. Matching funds from the State of Tennessee help us accelerate the translation of R&D projects into commercial products and services. We look forward to celebrating with other award recipients at #3686Fest - starting today. #NashvilleHealthTech #NationalInstitutesofHealth #NashvilleHealthcare
