Discovery Oasis will be fertile ground in the desert, where new ideas can move rapidly from science to patient care solutions to biomanufacturing and broad application.” “But we also have a new opportunity to vision a biotech corridor, anchored by Mayo Clinic, where we invite collaborators to join us in pushing past the existing boundaries in medicine and health care. “Mayo Clinic will use a portion of the land for continued expansion of our Phoenix campus and our patient-centered model of care,” said Richard Gray, M.D., CEO for Mayo Clinic in Arizona. We believe the acquisition of this land is one of these opportunities, giving us a new canvas to co-create with innovators in science and biotechnology,” said Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., CEO for Mayo Clinic.

“Leading in the transformation of health care on behalf of patients everywhere is central to Mayo Clinic’s strategy. Biotechnology collaborators will be invited to co-locate in what is expected to become a dynamic corridor for advancing novel medical and health care solutions. The concept furthers Mayo’s mission of addressing humanity’s most serious and complex medical challenges while fueling local and state economic growth. Developing this area of North Phoenix to support Mayo Clinic’s strategic vision and the “Discovery Oasis” biotechnology corridor has been a long-standing goal of Mayo Clinic, the City of Phoenix, the State of Arizona and Arizona State University.
