Arizona Biotech News - ASU teams up with Mayo Clinic to fight cancer By Emily Gersema, Tribune February 17, 2006
A leading Scottsdale hospital and university researchers are combining their brain power to fight cancer. The Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University are forming a partnership called "MAC-5," which combines the expertise of scientists from both entities to make research discoveries and improve cancer treatment, university officials announced Thursday. Several ASU researchers from various fields, including engineering and computer science, are taking part in the relationship. They will work closely with Mayo Clinic physicians in Scottsdale to develop ther- apies for patients and further study the disease in its various forms. George Poste leads ASU's Biodesign Institute, whose researchers are involved in the partnership. Poste said he believes their efforts could lead to health care tailored to each patient's unique needs a new level of care achieved with help from the institute's biotech research. This is a growing area of study that applies discoveries by scientists in various fields from plant sciences to human genetics to create treatments and vaccines.
