UACI is providing fabulous support to startup companies by connecting them to the resources of the University of Arizona and the Tucson Community. The new facility in Oro Valley is located in an area where some of the most valuable bioindustry leaders in the State of Arizona are located, which provides the companies the opportunity to connect to those businesses for a successful launch and expansion. TheraCea team is very excited to be able to use the laboratory and office space to advance their technical work, business mentorship and commercialization programs to move the company to the market.

Physis Biotechnologies L.L.C
Starting a business in science is complicated. It involves a lot of moving targets: funding, research, a good scientific team, vision, passion and commitment to see your vision through. UACI has been a valuable asset that has provided me with a realistic snapshot of where I am now and what its going to take to build a successful company. They've provided me with landmarks and a compass in helping me achieve my business goals. I'm really grateful to be a part of this organization and for the direction they've provided.
