Last week, Reference Medicine team members attended the 2024 AZBio Trailblazers Awards which honored ten Arizona legislatures for their contributions to the bioscience ecosystem in Arizona. Honorees including Senators Eva Burch, Brian Fernandez, David Gowan, John Kavanaugh, Janae Shamp, T.J. Shope and Representatives Selina Bliss, David Livingston, Stacy Travers, and Julie Willoughby have championed initiatives to support research, education, and innovation. These efforts have significantly bolstered Arizona's thriving biotech industry.
Arizona Bioindustry Association (AZBio) supports the growth of Arizona’s life science sector by fostering collaboration, promoting innovation, and connecting stakeholders across the biotech ecosystem. AZBio is working to advance public policy, provide educational resources, and create opportunities for businesses to thrive. Reference Medicine has experienced first-hand the impact of AZBio’s support. In 2023, we were honored to be selected as a Flinn Foundation Bioscience Entrepreneurship Program winner, a program administered in collaboration with AZBio to provide funding and essential support services to promising bioscience companies.
We were truly honored to attend the AZBio Trailblazer Awards luncheon and be part of such an inspiring celebration of innovation and leadership in Arizona's bioscience community. Congratulations to all the honorees for their remarkable contributions and dedication to advancing the industry. Your efforts continue to shape the future of bioscience in Arizona, and we are proud to stand alongside such visionary leaders.
