Big chips are falling into place for Arizona
Big chips are falling into place for Arizona
Arizona's budding bioscience sector includes the Translational Genomics Research Institute in Phoenix and biotech initiatives at all three state universities and a dozen hospitals. As bioscientists expand our knowledge of how genes work, medicine will become more individualized. Instead of using a shotgun approach to fighting cancer, for instance, a doctor will be able to match drugs to the specific genetic makeup of an individual's tumor.Researchers at TGen are using genetics to find treatments for autism, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and Type II diabetes. And Arizonans will be the first to benefit from cutting-edge drugs and medical devices that are developed here. That's because test subjects for promising new treatments are typically drawn from local residents, who can be easily monitored. As Arizona's research muscle grows, the state can attract top-flight scientists, raising the potential for achievement. As research breakthroughs are turned into products, there are increasing prospects for new investment and entrepreneurs. The economic potential is so exciting that business leaders from the Valley, Tucson and Flagstaff are setting up a new non-profit, Science Foundation Arizona. They're committing $2.5 million a year to operate the foundation, which will help implement a state bioscience "road map."
