The Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies, a new Phoenix-based University of Arizona Health Sciences center focused on developing biological therapies to fight disease, will serve as the anchor for an innovation district that will establish the Phoenix Bioscience Core as a center of research, startup activity and corporate engagement.
The Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies, or CAMI, will have four areas of research focus: cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases and real-time immune system monitoring.
“Our expertise in basic science, translational medicine and investigator-initiated clinical trials will allow UArizona Health Sciences to lead the nation in advanced immunotherapies research,” said Michael D. Dake, MD, senior vice president for UArizona Health Sciences. “We believe the Phoenix Bioscience Core is the perfect location to allow us to bring together world-class faculty, clinical researchers and internationally recognized thought leaders to catalyze the next generation of precision health care treatments.”
The center’s location in Phoenix is expected to facilitate strong connections with partners such as Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, the Mayo Clinic and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), while boosting the local economy in the process.
