Here and Now - Biomedicine
You've probably already heard the word 'biomedicine,' but what does it mean and why is it considered so important to the valley and Arizona? Here and Now explores bioscience in Arizona, looking at the various research that's underway, how it can improve our health, and what it means to the state's economy.

What kind of diagnostic improvements are we talking about? And what specific diseases could 'personalized medicine' help most?
Any plans to expand bio research to environmental concerns? Such as energy and water?
I am concerned that since many researchers are from other countries, they may be reluctant to come to a place that is so anti-immigrant. Do your guests have any worries about that?
I am a doctoral student at Harrington Department of Bioengineering, currently working on the development of a new digital magnetofluidics technology with great potential as a means for rapid sample preparation and analysis of biological fluids drops. I would like to have information about which postdoctoral opportunities there are at TGen and/or within this personalized medicine initiative, and to discuss how our research can help push the technology along.
