At the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, our research mission is to drive discoveries that improve health and transform lives. Located within the Phoenix Bioscience Core, we are advancing discovery through strategic investments in high-impact research programs that use the most advanced technologies, with an emphasis on computation, data science, and multi-scale integration. Our scientists work across disciplines to explore some of the most pressing questions in medicine, including neuroscience, immunology, cardiovascular disease, lifespan health, metabolism, genetics of mental health, nanoscience, cancer, and child health.

By leveraging access to our clinical affiliates’ large and diverse patient populations, we accelerate discovery and improve the quality of care. Our research community thrives on collaboration, creativity, and impact. From developing nanoscale tools for targeted drug delivery to uncovering molecular clues that drive neurological and psychiatric disorders, our investigators translate scientific insights into prevention and treatment strategies delivered directly at the point of care. Through these efforts, we improve health outcomes, create economic opportunities, and strengthen Arizona’s growing biomedical ecosystem. Together, we are shaping the future of medicine and building healthier communities across our state and beyond.
