Ten research teams from three Arizona institutions have been awarded $100,000 each from the Flinn Foundation Seed Grants to Promote Translational Research Program to help turn their findings into viable treatments and diagnostics.

The Aegis Consortium awarded seed funding to eight projects that align with the UArizona Health Sciences center’s mission to create a pandemic-free future.

“There is not a consensus right now in the US government about exactly how Covid started,” US national security spokesperson John Kirby said on Monday.

A crucial question has eluded governments and health agencies around the world since the COVID-19 pandemic began: Did the virus originate in animals or leak from a Chinese lab?

While those on the front line have no official cause of “where” or “how” the virus came to be, the United States Energy Department is out with a new report. The agency is claiming the virus could be from a lab leak in China, but not everyone is on board w

This is the 18th year for the weekly free presentations by UArizona scientists and researchers. Subjects will range from revealing the limitations of artificial intelligence to finding the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

Gov. Doug Ducey announced $150 million in funding for the Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies, a center being developed by the University of Arizona Health Sciences.

The University of Arizona and larger Tucson community are mourning the loss of hydrology and atmospheric sciences department head and professor Thomas Meixner.

An international team of researchers has confirmed that live animals sold at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China, were the likely source of the COVID-19 pandemic that has claimed 6.4 million lives since it began nearly three years ago.

Analyzing a wide range of data, including virus genes, maps of market stalls, and the social media activity of early Covid-19 patients across Wuhan, scientists concluded that the coronavirus was very likely present in live mammals sold in Wuhan.

Researchers have released a new report regarding the origins of the COVID-19 virus, with report authors say that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 jumped to people from animals sold at the market on two occasions in late 2019.

A three-part series produced by the Daily Wildcat, delves into the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Researchers from a lab in the UArizona Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology made a discovery of Omicron variant COVID cases using genomic testing within 10 hours of receiving the samples.

From tracking the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, to learning how puppies communicate, University of Arizona expertise in a variety of fields made international headlines in 2021.

The new variant of concern has a large number of mutations and is spreading fast.

In a new paper published in Science, UArizona virus expert Michael Worobey connects the dots from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak and shows that an origin other than the Huanan Seafood Market is extremely unlikely.

University of Arizona evolutionary biologist Michael Worobey believed he has found the first known case of COVID from a vendor at a wet market in Wuhan, China.
