Bioscience

Bioscience refers to the technological application of biological systems to make or modify products or processes for the needs of humanity. It generally consists of five industry segments; agriculture, drugs and pharmaceuticals, medical devices and instruments, hospitals and laboratories, and research and testing. The twenty-first century has been dubbed the "century of biology". In the decades ahead, breakthroughs in our understanding of biology promise both advances in human health and economic growth. Recent years have seen an unprecedented collaboration of talent, investment, and partnership in the biosciences in Greater Phoenix. Driven by major regional investments such as the International Genomics Consortium, Translational Genomics Research Institute, Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix, the Greater Phoenix region has emerged as an important location for growth in the biosciences
