Discovery
The Phoenix Bioscience Core is 30-acre life sciences innovation district in the heart of Downtown Phoenix. Home to the highest concentration of research scientists in the state, the PBC’s anchor institutions include Arizona’s three public research universities — Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona — leading genomics pioneers including the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), part of the City of Hope; the International Genomics Consortium; Exact Sciences; several of Phoenix’s major health care systems, such as Banner Health, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Dignity Health and Valleywise Health; and a growing number of emerging life science companies.
The Phoenix Bioscience Core is a place where unprecedented collaborations transpire between innovators and institutions of research excellence, setting a new standard in advancing precision medicine from discovery to delivery.

The Phoenix Bioscience Core is embedded in Phoenix’s downtown neighborhoods. Steps away from Roosevelt Row and the arts district, and just a few blocks away from the Phoenix Convention Center, Arizona Diamondbacks and Phoenix Suns, there is always something to do around the PBC.
The PBC and its institutions also play host to a number of events geared toward all audiences including researchers, community members, students and more. Check out our full event calendar to see what’s happening each week, and sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on what’s happening.
