For a rich harvest, add money
Arizona planted seeds in the field of bioscience just four years ago. Now, we're starting to see the fruits of supporting that effort. The Translational Genomics Research Institute, established in Phoenix in 2002, recently announced that it is expanding to Flagstaff. In partnership with Northern Arizona University, TGen will open a center to develop faster ways to diagnose infectious diseases. The partnership between TGen and NAU reinforces the northern end of a bioscience corridor running through the state. It moves Arizona ahead on the "road map" to becoming a leading state for bioscience.
