Phoenix Bioscience Core

👏👏👏

Shoutout to our amazing PA students!

Recently, students from the Physician Assistant Department at the Phoenix Bioscience Core held a blanket drive, collecting store-bought and hand-knitted blankets. In total, about 50 blankets were donated to the Phoenix Children's Hospital emergency department and family care cart. The family care cart is taken directly to the bedside of patients and their families and functions to provide extra comfort measures during their stay in the hospital.

Great work!

More than 200 people joined us to hear about the progress for , the new development from the University of Arizona, NAU’s efforts to decrease the state’s healthcare workforce shortage, and how the City of Phoenix is investing heavily in the biosciences for the growth of our economy. Thank you to everyone who attended and we look forward to seeing you next year!

It has been an incredible August for the Phoenix Bioscience Core. Earlier this month, we debuted our cohort, featuring 10 Phoenix area artists and 10 PBC researchers coming together to deliver incredible works of translational art that showcase the important research happening at our institutions. These projects included murals, sculptures, dance, augmented reality and artificial intelligence, metallurgy, and hand-stitched materials.

More than 500 people visited our First Look and Grand Opening events to see these pieces, and we’re just getting started. You can see ARx2 next on Sept. 14 when it returns to the Health Sciences Education Building for public display. The PBC and its Arts Committee will be hosting a deep dive with members of our first and second cohorts to discuss how their projects came together and sharing some fun stories along the way. Join us for this fun and stimulating evening. And stay tuned to see where our art lands next!

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this program. Special thanks to the Dr. Cynthia Standley of the University of the Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix, who chairs our Arts Committee; Sara Anderson and Proxsea LLC, who put these incredible events together; Craig Randich and Bentley Gallery for being an incredible arts partner for the PBC; and Danny Upshaw for taking these amazing photos.

We will be opening applications for ARx3 soon. Stay tuned!

Big news for PHX: CBRE identified Phoenix as a key emerging life science research cluster. The city and region continues to grow as a hub for research and commercialization in the life science and biomedical fields. This is in large part because of the tremendous efforts our universities, the city and other partners have done to make sure Phoenix continues to grow. .

1) The Phoenix MSA brought in $143 million in NIH funding last year. That ranked #5 among emerging markets in the United States.

2) Phoenix ranked #1 in 5-year growth in biological and biomedical science degrees. It saw more than 90% growth during that time!

3) Phoenix's MSA grew 33 percent in life science research concentration over the past 5 years.

Congratulations to ASU Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation receiving a $4.5 million grant from the National Institute on Aging - NIH.

“I think this grant shows what Professor (Fang) Yu and her team are doing is really cutting edge. This research could impact millions of people, potentially giving them some hope of relief from a terrible disease that steals their very essence. I’m looking forward to the findings and seeing how they develop into real-world interventions,” said Edson College Dean Judith Karshmer.
