Creating Defenses Against Disease

At the University of Arizona Health Sciences, we are unraveling the complexities of human biology to build better defenses against disease. Researchers are addressing issues related to infection, immunity and inflammation caused by microorganisms, and supporting a collaborative effort between Arizona’s three state universities to advance research, diagnostics and preventive treatments for Valley fever.

Our strategic initiatives are positioning the University of Arizona Health Sciences as a revolutionary real-time point-of-care leader for inflammatory diseases. We are partnering with Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University to develop precision medicine approaches, drug development and environmental risk abatement to reduce the financial cost and human burden of Valley fever.
