Newborn Screening Needs a Major Glow-Up

Did you know the U.S. newborn screening system is kinda all over the place? A new national report (with a big assist from RTI’s Don Bailey) says we need way more coordination to keep up with new tech like gene therapy and genome sequencing. Right now, every state does things a little differently, which means some babies might miss out on life-saving advances. The fix? A 10-year plan to unify and upgrade screening for all newborns. This could be a game-changer for early detection! #NewbornScreening #HealthInnovation #PublicHealth #ScienceNews #Health
