The Arizona BioIndustry Association has named a new president and chief executive officer to lead the growing statewide bioscience trade association. C. Robert (Bob) Eaton, who led a bioscience industry support organization in Maryland for 10 years, has relocated to Phoenix and began his new position on October 1.
New facilities provide support for novel bio collaborations
Three new facilities, from Flagstaff to the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, exemplify the enriched infrastructure enabling Arizona's drive toward more collaborative research initiatives with immediate, real-world applications. Two are now welcoming their first occupants, and a third broke ground this month.
Integrated Biosystems Research 2007 Symposium
“Advances in Proteomics Research,” sponsored by the Arizona Proteomics Alliance, will be held Friday, November 16, 2007: 8 am ~ Registration (& Coffee), Poster set up 8:45 amScientific luminaries launch personalized diagnostics initiative
The Partnership for Personalized Medicine, an unprecedented initiative to develop personalized molecular diagnostics, is being launched collaboratively by 2001 Nobel laureate Lee Hartwell, the Translational Genomics Research Institute, and the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. The effort is being funded by commitments of $35 million from the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust and $10 million from the Flinn Foundation.
Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust and Flinn Foundation launch $45M initiative to develop personalized diagnostics
Two Arizona-based philanthropic organizations have committed $45 million to fund an innovative initiative to develop personalized molecular diagnostics. The ability to diagnose and treat disease based on every person’s unique physiological makeup is critical to enabling physicians to improve health outcomes while at the same time reducing medical costs. Under the Partnership for Personalized Medicine, […]Interdisciplinary UA & NAU team receives $3.3M to study biosurfactants
[Source: University of Arizona Communications] — BIO5 investigators at The University of Arizona and a scientist at Northern Arizona University recently received a $3.3 million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation to research four classes of unique biosurfactants. Research applications are widespread and could include bioremediation of metal and oil contaminated sites, additives to […]Former Maryland bioscience leader named CEO of Arizona BioIndustry Association

Fennemore Craig edition
Whether he knew it or not, Sharad Desai (’99) has been chasing Shelley Detwiller DiGiacomo (’91) all across the country for, I don’t know, something like eight decades. Like Shelley, Sharad went to high school in the Valley. Like Shelley, he stayed in Arizona as an undergrad. Like Shelley, he went to law school in […]UA, NAU team wins grant for commercially promising bio study
A collaboration of three BIO5 members at the University of Arizona and a researcher at NAU has received a $3.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation to study biosurfactants—bacteria-produced molecules with extraordinary potential for commercialization. Finding such commercial applications constitutes one of the key objectives for Arizona's bioscience research enterprises.
