The Institute for Pediatric Rare Diseases (IPRD) is proud to be part of the bold progress made during the 2025 Legislative Session, led by Representative Adam Anderson (R–Palm Harbor).

In a message marking Sine Die 2025, Rep. Anderson reaffirmed his commitment to expanding access to life-changing healthcare and unlocking the promise of genomic medicine for families affected by rare diseases. His leadership was instrumental in uniting Florida’s public universities, forging new partnerships, and advancing the state’s role as a national leader in precision health.

“This work is about more than policy or laying the foundation for a new industry in Florida. It’s about giving parents hope, accelerating cures, and putting our state on the map as a hub for innovation and compassion,” Rep. Anderson wrote.

Pradeep Bhide, Director of IPRD, remarked, “We share Rep. Anderson’s vision. With strong legislative support, including a new appropriation for pediatric genomic medicine and newborn sequencing, we are now positioned to expand our clinical, research, and training programs and deliver real impact for children and families across the state.”

IPRD extends its sincere thanks to Representative Anderson who continues to fight for a future where every child and every family has reason to hope. The momentum is real—and the best is yet to come!
