Congratulations to the 2023 Women of Impact! We are proud to have six BIO5 members recognized this year.

BIO5 Member and R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy professor Wei Wang along with Cancer Center researchers is innovating new methods to precisely target tumors and deliver anti-cancer drugs without harming healthy cells.

The new distinguished professorship recognizes a BIO5 member with interdisciplinary research excellence and a commitment to mentorship.

A leader in insect ecology, BIO5 member Yves Carrière has dedicated himself to using science to help overcome agricultural challenges and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Entomological Society of America.

Get inspired with BIO5 member Tally Largent-Milnes as she recalls pivotal moments in paving her own path in the field of migraine research. “We have different personal lived experiences, in addition to the biological, molecular and cellular factors that make us all unique,” Largent-Milnes said. “We all experience pain differently, and measuring pain is very subjective.

National Science Foundation (NSF) funding will help BIO5 member Pierre Deymier and other researchers establish a new center at the University of Arizona that seeks to exploit the properties of sound in ways that could vastly improve computing, telecommunications and sensing.

The SensorLab is a UArizona Health Sciences strategic initiative with several BIO5 members that serves as a hub to bring students, faculty, industry and community partners together to encourage creativity and innovation in research and education by providing access to sensor technology and expertise.

Mentorship with University of Arizona researchers helps these promising Arizona high school students explore their passion of scientific discovery.

Research at Biosphere 2 uncovers how soil microbes process carbon and interact with the atmosphere under environmental stress. Learn about a study by BIO5 members Laura Meredith and Malak Tfaily that helps scientists predict and support how ecosystems will adapt in the face of increasing temperatures and prolonged drought.

Now in it's sixth year, this internship program is a unique opportunity for UArizona undergraduate students to work on the business and marketing aspects of a research institution.
