Biodesign Institute

The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University is a center specializing in bioscience infrastructure at Arizona State University. It is led by Dr. George Poste, an established leader in international science with extensive experience in academia, industry and government. The Institute is organized into a rapidly-growing number of research centers staffed by top scientists in diverse disciplines.

Overview

The Biodesign Institute is spearheading ASU’s innovative application of use-inspired research that fuses previously separate areas of knowledge. The Institute is led by George Poste, a world-renowned scientist and policy maker with four decades of experience spanning academia, industry and government. Dr. Poste’s singular experience in fostering scientific collaboration has shaped the Institute’s organization and has facilitated recruitment of international-caliber scientists to the Institute.

The Biodesign Institute plays a critical role in preparing the Tempe campus of Arizona State University, a comprehensive metropolitan university that is the fourth largest in the U.S. and ranks third among public universities in producing National Merit Scholars. The Institute embodies the guiding principles of the New American University, as defined by Arizona State University President Michael Crow. These principles include an entrepreneurial research culture attractive to scientist uniquely capable of working across disciplines and in close cooperation with industry.

Under the leadership of President Crow, ASU is adding one million square feet of new research space to enhance its capabilities and drive economic growth in the communities it serves.
