SCOTTSDALE - Brainiacs in Scottsdale, rejoice.

An 110,000-square-foot research building, 70 percent of it laboratories focused on curing cancer, opens with an event at 8:30 a.m. today at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, 13400 E. Shea Blvd.

It is the second of three research structures planned for the site. advertisement




The three-story, $29 million Collaborative Research Building represents a new doorway along Shea Boulevard's growing biotech corridor and a step toward more robust collaboration within the Valley's developing biotech network.

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), and Arizona State University are already in various stages of settling into lab space at the new site.

Top research facilities were crucial in attracting those potential collaborators as well as recruiting Mayo researchers, said Dr. Laurence Miller, director of Mayo's cancer center, who oversaw the scientific end of the project.

Its research benches ultimately will fill huge open spaces on two floors where entire teams can work together, unlike outdated labs where space is carved out of smaller rooms.
