UArizona researchers explored the link between sedentary behavior and risk of dementia and found that type of activity matters when it comes to brain aging.

Researchers at the Center for Innovation in Brain Science are flipping the traditional research model by first considering known factors underlying diseases and then seeking treatments using technologies to scan data for patterns that suggest certain compounds may impact those biological pathways.

Summer programs through the UArizona Health Sciences Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion focus on fostering diversity in health professions and setting students up for graduate and medical school success. Two students, Emma Gallardo Martinez and Tawanda Zvavamwe, provided a glimpse into their 10-week experiences.

A new location near Banner University Medical Center - Tucson will give investigators access to state-of-the-art technology to conduct sleep and circadian rhythm research.

30 Women in the area of research and innovation have been elected as part of the inaugural class of the UArizona Women of Impact. Out of these 30, 8 are BIO5 members, yet all of the elected women are laying the groundwork for a brighter future.

Alexandra “Bobbie” Garvin, a postdoctoral research fellow at the UArizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, has been awarded a UArizona Sarver Heart Center grant for her work entitled, “Prohibitin as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Cardiac Fibrosis.”

Researchers from across the Phoenix region met to share discoveries that will improve care for diverse patient populations.

Adults who share a bed with a partner or spouse sleep better than those who sleep alone, according to a new study from researchers at UArizona.
