Oro Valley

BIO5 Oro Valley is housed in the former Tucson, Arizona drug discovery facility of Sanofi-Aventis, this state of the art industry-style campus is the focus of a new translational drug discovery & development effort of the University of Arizona. The site comprises a team of internationally recognized ex-industrialists developing a unique culture to promote innovation via the merging of academic and industrial expertise in concert with new approaches, chemistries, targets and collaborations to expeditiously bring new therapeutics to the patient in need.  

BIO5 Oro Valley is positioned to collaborate to create high impact, translational success in the drug discovery world.   We seek collaborators from industry and academia to share in our vision and success of innovating the next generation drugs for patients.   Collaboration opportunities include co-development, SBIR and other grants as well as licensing.  Our highly skilled chemistry team is seeking academic partners with new targets for drug discovery.  We also offer candidate to IND drug development.

BIO5 Oro Valley Accelerator provides space for growing early stage companies seeking a base of operations  in the dynamic Oro Valley bioindustry hub.

Located just north of Tucson, AZ nestled in the foothills of the Santa Catalina mountains, Oro Valley has emerged as a bioindustry hub where Sanofi, Ventana-Roche and Innovation Park are located. http://www.innovationparkaz.com/
