ASU forms innovative international health care partnership

Agreement establishes 1st Biosignatures Center between ASU and Taiwan’s Chang Gung University – partnership will improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.

ASU and Taiwan’s Chang Gung University (CGU) have formalized an agreement to establish an international Biosignatures Center aimed at the prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer and other diseases.

ASU’s Nobel laureate, Leland Hartwell, is chief scientist at the Biodesign Institute’s Center for Sustainable Health (CSH) and will co-direct the Chang Gung Biosignatures Center. “The most important thing we can do to improve health care and reduce its costs, is to develop informative tests for prevention, early detection, and effective therapeutic intervention for disease. This collaboration is the most exciting opportunity I have had to achieve these goals,” Hartwell said.
