Join the College of Engineering for Design Day!
Design Day highlights the yearlong efforts of engineering seniors, primarily sponsored by industry partners. The prototypes exhibited by our students demonstrate a variety of solutions to real-world engineering challenges. Teams will compete for corporate- and private-sponsored cash prizes which recognize excellence in engineering design.
The University of Arizona is celebrating Undergraduate Research Week! Officially April 21-15, our campus is hosting a number of research showcases highlighting the breadth, depth, and impact of undergraduate research on campus.
Arizona's Bioscience Roadmap Progress Report is an annual statewide event to share the latest data on key metrics regarding Arizona's bioscience sector.
Arizona's Bioscience Roadmap Progress Report is an annual statewide event—gathering 300+ attendees—to share the latest data on key metrics regarding Arizona's bioscience sector. Arizona's Bioscience Roadmap is the nation’s longest-running statewide bioscience plan, which the Flinn Foundation commissioned and has guided since 2002. Flinn is currently working with SRI International on the next iteration of the Roadmap, to debut this fall.
Tuesday, Feb 18, 2025
Grand Challenges Research Building, room 130
Lecture from 9:00-10:00 a.m.
Optional breakfast with Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation Tomás Díaz de la Rubia
from 8:15-9:00 a.m.
Dr. Edward Moses, CEO of Longview Fusion Energy Systems, has led billion-dollar projects like the National Ignition Facility and the Giant Magellan Telescope. A National Academy of Engineering member, he holds 20 patents and has over 150 peer-reviewed papers.
Why It Matters: Fusion energy—powering the Sun—could be the ultimate clean, sustainable energy source. A 2022 breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility proved controlled fusion gain, bringing commercialization within reach.

While plant breeding is among humankind's oldest and most important endeavors, it remains a highly dynamic field. There is a constant flux of new technologies for plant improvement, such as advances in genomics, bioinformatics, high throughput phenotyping, and new statistical approaches for selection, gene mapping, and GxE interactions. TPBI offers breeders state-of-the art training in these modern tools. By offering modules on different topics, the Institute allows a breeder to choose courses that best fit their specific needs. The mission of the institute is to transfer current technologies to a wide audience of users, be they commercial breeders or academics interested in plant science improvement.
Module Structure: Module 1: Introduction to Plant Quantitative Genetics Monday - Wednesday (12:00pm)
Module 2: Advanced Statistical Plant Breeding
Wednesday (1:30pm) - Friday
Each module consists of ten 90 minute lectures/computer workshops. For further details on each Module, see our Modules.

Museums across the University of Arizona are proud to offer free or reduced admission in celebration of UArizona Museum Day 2024. Immerse yourself in a day filled with discovery and wonder, where you can visit nine unique museums and collections, bridging the arts and science.
The 6th Annual reimagine Health Research Symposium on Opioids: How the Science of Pain Management and Addiction Can Impact Abuse concerns the approximate 50 million people in the U.S. that live with chronic pain, as well as the 140 people that die each day in the U.S. from opioid overdoses. In Arizona alone there are more than 1,900 deaths from opioid overdoses each year, and the numbers are increasing by nearly 10% per year. The main objective of the 6th Annual reimagine Health Research Symposium is to learn the most recent scientific and medical advances that have been made in our understanding of pain, how we can better manage it in those who suffer from chronic pain, as well as how discoveries of the molecular mechanisms of addiction can inform us on how to treat opioid abuse and hopefully, deaths from opioid overdose. The symposium will be hosted as a hybrid event both on our campus in downtown Phoenix, Arizona and virtually via our event platform, Whova. The event is open to the public. We highly recommend researchers and healthcare professionals to attend. We also welcome students, educators, and the general public to attend this valuable symposium.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, the Arizona Biomedical Research Centre and the Flinn Foundation, there is no cost to attend the symposium. Visit our website to learn more about the symposium!
CAMI Cancer Symposium
presented by the University of Arizona Health Sciences
Join the University of Arizona Health Sciences at our third spring symposium to learn more about the potential of the Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies. With an emphasis on cancer, join us as we host experts Vinod Balachandran, MD (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center), Lélia Delamarre, PhD (Genentech), Lei Zheng, MD, PhD (Johns Hopkins School of Medicine), Shaveta Vinayak, MD, MS (University of Washington School of Medicine; Fred Hutch Cancer Center) and guest panelist Aaron Scott, MD (University of Arizona Cancer Center).
The CAMI Cancer Symposium is a free, one-day hybrid event on May 18, 2023. The day will open with a social lunch for attendees, and will include a panelist discussion and a question-and-answer forum. A reception will follow the conclusion of the panel discussion. The event will be live streamed for those unable to attend in person.
