Calviri Named Arizona Bioscience Company of the Year

Posted on by

Calviri, a Phoenix, Arizona based company with a mission to end cancer worldwide and to accomplish this mission with affordable products, has been named the Arizona Bioscience Company of the Year and will be celebrated at the 20th annual AZBio Awards on September 18, 2024 at the Phoenix Convention Center.

All rooted in the power of Calviri’s molecular discoveries and semiconductor inventions, the company is now ready to globally provide diagnostics and vaccines that will end cancer. Full stop.
