Phoenix rebrands research campus as Phoenix Bioscience Core

PHOENIX — The Downtown Phoenix bio research and discovery campus is rebranding as the Phoenix Bioscience Core.

The new name will appear around the Phoenix campus between Fifth and Seventh streets and at the Bio International Conference in San Diego starting this summer, according to a press release.

The change is to signify the growth of the center, which houses research in precision medicine, genomics, molecular medicine, cancer research, health care analytics and more.

A report from commercial real estate services and investment firm CBRE showed Phoenix as having the fastest-growing increase in life science jobs with the second most bioscience facilities in development, according to the release.

“Our bioscience landscape has expanded exponentially from the campus approach we first imagined for downtown,” Phoenix mayor Kate Gallego said.

“Phoenix is now a center for treatments discovered and cures delivered. We lead the nation in bioscience job growth and are recognized among the top five emerging life science markets. It is the right time to update our image to mirror this growth in medical technology, life sciences and medical devices.”

There were 22,000 jobs in the sector at the end of 2021, according to CBRE.

The facility’s partners include the Arizona Board of Regents, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, University of Arizona, Translational Genomics Research Institute and Dignity Health. It is the only location with Arizona’s three public research universities.
