The Frist Center for Autism and Innovation is pleased to announce the successful inaugural Lab-Match Event, held today both in-person at Vanderbilt and virtually. This event brought together lab managers and start-up companies in a unique forum designed to connect researchers with entrepreneurial ventures seeking research support. The Lab-Match Event provided a platform for start-ups to pitch their projects to lab leaders. Following the pitches, participants used an interest form to establish meaningful connections, creating pathways for future collaboration and research support.

The Frist Center for Autism and Innovation extends its gratitude to Janus Innovation Hub for their invaluable partnership in making this event possible. Their collaboration is instrumental to our continued journey to help entrepreneurs grow their products and services.
