I have officially been featured on TechCrunch! MabLab was just selected by many of the world's leading investors as a Top 5 Finalist for the Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. To be among the less than one percent who make it to the final stage — alongside alumni like Dropbox, Discord, and Cloudflare — feels absolutely surreal. Sharing our vision to end all overdoses from laced drugs and spiked drinks with thousands of key stakeholders has truly been an unforgettable experience, and I want to give a special thank you to Isabelle Johannessen, Michael J Schick, and Devin Coldewey who helped to make everything possible. Congratulations to all of our fellow finalists Capella Kerst, Ph.D., Jas Schembri-Stothart, Jo Goodall, Valentina Agudelo Vargas, and Clark Yuan — the innovation and dedication you bring to your companies is truly inspiring and our team looks forward to staying connected!

Pennsylvania is taking a significant step to combat the opioid crisis by investing 4 million USD in organizations that provide community recovery and harm reduction services. This funding will help enhance access to critical resources such as naloxone, syringe services, and fentanyl test strips. At MabLab, we are committed to addressing the growing threat of adulterated drugs by creating highly accurate 5-in-1 rapid tests for lacing agents such as fentanyl and xylazine. We believe that empowering communities with access to these tools is vital in the fight against overdose deaths and in promoting safer environments.

Washington State is taking a powerful step forward in the fight against fentanyl overdoses, especially when it comes to protecting children. As of March 21, 2024, new laws will impose stricter penalties for knowingly exposing children to fentanyl. This legislative change also highlights the growing focus on accessibility to tools like fentanyl test strips as a critical part of harm reduction efforts. At MabLab, we’re dedicated to making testing solutions for lacing agents such as fentanyl widely available and empowering communities with the resources they need to stay safe. Let's continue pushing for greater accessibility to lifesaving tools and safer environments for all.

Exciting news in the world of nightlife safety in California! As of July 1, 2024 bars and nightclubs that have held a Type 48 alcohol license will be required to offer drug test strips to customers. Legislative changes such as California Law AB 1013 mark a huge shift in preventative measures toward the prevalence of spiked drinks and laced drugs. It is exciting to see venues take responsibility for their customer’s well-being, fostering trust and safety. This legislative change aligns with our mission here at MabLab to advance harm reduction through innovative testing solutions. Let’s continue to push for safer environments and empower individuals with the tools they need to stay safe!
