For the Community
Arizona taxpayers like you are what make the work we do at the BIO5 Institute possible, and we want to share our discoveries with you!
We invite members of the community to take a peek inside our laboratories at the Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch Building on the University of Arizona campus during our annual open house or by scheduling a guided tour. School groups and science aficionados are welcome, too. We also host public events, such as Women in STEM panel discussions and the Ignite Science roundtable, throughout the year. Come on in and see what’s new!

BIO5 Art Collection
The inspiration and energy of the BlO5 art collection speaks to the possibility of discovery, in much the same way the beautiful Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch Building does for the scientists who work in it. Lively, yet calm colors and patterns combine with natural elements so that observers discover something new each time they contemplate a piece of the collection. Scientists also find the "new" in their work, inspired again and again by the interaction and flexibility afforded by the artful architecture. The art on the walls of BIO5's home is the work of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, chosen for inclusion in the collection because of their visions and their outstanding bodies of work.
Know a High Schooler Who Loves Science?
BIO5 offers a one-of-a-kind summer internship program for high schoolers interested in careers in the biosciences. For seven weeks students work alongside top Arizona researchers on initiatives addressing real-world problems, gaining exposure and hands-on experience.
