Connect Labs by Wexford Phoenix is excited to welcome six innovative companies expanding the frontiers of healthcare, biosciences, and environmental solutions. In just over two years since its opening, Connect Labs has become home to 23 pioneering entities, achieving an impressive 87% occupancy rate.

The Connect Labs space is located on the 5th floor of the 850 PBC building at the Phoenix Bioscience Core (PBC), a 30-acre life science innovation cluster that is home to Arizona’s three major research universities, TGEN, NIH, and Dignity Health Cancer Institute. These new additions enrich an already dynamic ecosystem of researchers, academics, and entrepreneurs at the PBC, each dedicated to advancing Arizona’s bioscience, health, and technology landscape.

Each of these companies brings unique strengths to the PBC:

• MiiHealth, a Mayo Clinic-ASU MedTech Accelerator company, leverages conversational AI to transform patient care from home, enhancing care and health outcomes. Supporting doctors, caregivers, and communities, MiiHealth has already delivered over 20 million hours of care. MiiHealth is the U.S. based brand of the U.K.company MiiCare.
  
• Healthscope provides an all-in-one mobile lab solution that brings blood draws and sample processing directly to patients’ homes, delivering results as quickly as the next day.
  
• FAKnostics, a University of Arizona spinout, is pioneering therapies that inhibit tumor growth by targeting specific protein-protein interactions, offering promising advancements in cancer treatment.
  
• Blue Water Orthodontics develops safe, non-toxic toothpaste, addressing the demand for natural oral care.
  
• Lychee Biosciences, another University of Arizona spinout, focuses on the research and development of plant-based medicines.
