The Collaborative Gene and its impact on Life Science Ecosystem Development: An Arizona Business Case

On May 12, 2017, Governor Doug Ducey signed Arizona’s $9.8 billion 2018-2019 Budget which provides bonding authority for $1 billion for investments in University Research Infrastructure. This investment continues a collaboration between the State of Arizona, Industry Leaders, Philanthropists, and Arizona’s Universities that is driving Arizona towards its goal of becoming a top-tier bioscience state that began 20 years ago with the founding of the Arizona Bioscience Cluster, Inc.

Today we call it, AZBio.
