A $1.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute will help University of Arizona Cancer Center researchers establish a training program geared to introduce students to prevention science careers.
Researchers are filling a knowledge gap by building a powerful tool to accelerate the development of diagnostic and prognostic technologies.
Dr. Bonnie LaFleur, a research professor in the University of Arizona R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy, has been appointed to a five-year term on the Data Safety Monitoring Committee for the National Institutes of Health Common Fund’s Nutrition for Precision Health, powered by the All of Us Research Program.
University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers are using organoids to design novel therapies and better understand cancer and rare diseases.
Internationally renowned researchers exchange ideas around prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The event, co-hosted by the College of Engineering and the Cancer Center, brought together internationally recognized researchers for the launch of the UA Cancer Engineering Initiative.
You cannot feel it, but your immune system is currently waging a war against infection, cancer and other diseases. In fact, a vast network of organs, white blood cells, antibodies and chemicals are fighting microscopic battles every minute of every day.
Some diseases, like cancer, can progress silently, avoiding detection until it’s too late. An ultrasensitive sensor could detect a disease before symptoms appear, letting health care providers treat the disease early, when it’s still curable. The sensor could also be used in a COVID-19 breath test.
BIO5's interdisciplinary approach to scientific research has resulted in disease prevention strategies and promising new therapies, innovative diagnostics and devices, and improved food crops.
