We are incredibly grateful to UAB - The University of Alabama at Birmingham for their vision and trust in creating a facility that will help advance genomic medicine while fostering connection and discovery for years to come.

Congratulations to our outstanding project team and everyone who helped bring this award-winning vision to life!
