New Economy Initiative

The funding will support the UArizona Health Sciences Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies, a biomedical research hub in downtown Phoenix.

The sixth college under the UArizona Health Sciences umbrella will offer five graduate-level degree programs: midwifery, physician assistant, genetic counseling, clinical translational sciences and Doctor of Physical Therapy.

With funding from the state's New Economy Initiative, researchers are working to develop precision cancer treatments using 3D-printed environments that mimic human tissue.

As countries around the world work to advance weapons traveling at hypersonic speed, a UArizona-led team is building a "brain" for high-speed vehicles and interceptors.

By integrating a broad range of health expertise, the research initiative aims, in part, to better respond to public health challenges such as pandemics and water insecurity.

The Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies will support research to catalyze the next generation of precision health care treatments, building on the idea that the most effective defense against health issues is the body's natural immune system.

The partnership will advance pain and addiction research and accelerate positive health outcomes in Arizona, Oklahoma and across the country.

Future University of Arizona Health Sciences students will have new health care career opportunities thanks to the Arizona Board of Regents' approval of three new degree programs.

The Arizona Board of Regents earmarked $3.1 million from the state's Technology and Research Initiative Fund to support new research into Valley fever detection technology, genomics and seasonal outbreak patterns.

The new UArizona Health Sciences Sensor Lab is expanding health care research by providing access to wearable sensors and advanced digital technologies.
