Bio5

Behind the scenes tour of BIO5

BIO5, a collaborative research institute at the University of Arizona, brings together scientists from agriculture, medicine, pharmacy, basic science, and engineering. It’s a unique mix of disciplines that creates an environment rich in opportunities to work together to solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges: preventing and treating disease, and feeding everyone. You’ll go behind the scenes, into the state-of-the-art laboratories of the Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch Building. Among other topics, BIO5 researchers are pursuing a cure for Valley Fever, a better cancer drug, ways to diagnose ovarian cancer earlier, and ways to grow rice that require less water and fewer pesticides. They welcome the opportunity to tell you first-hand about their research.  Please join us for a tour.
