There seems to be no slowing the amount of discoveries and inventions coming out of the University of Arizona. In fiscal year 2025, U of A broke its record for the number of inventions reported, defeating the record set just last year. Many of these inventions are licensed and distributed through startup companies, such as iMagine Design, which Tech Launch Arizona helped launch this year.
iMagine leverages technologies from U of A faculty including Janet Roveda, the Litton Industries John M. Leonis Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and aerospace and mechanical engineering associate professor Kavan Hazeli of the College of Engineering and the BIO5 Institute. iMagine harnesses diagnostic intelligence for clinicians to correlate symptoms with changes in mobility to improve treatment and intervention decisions in health care.
"Transforming research into societal benefit requires more than great ideas, it demands trusted partnerships and a shared commitment to progress," said Tomás Díaz de la Rubia, senior vice president for research and partnerships. "Arizona's momentum reflects a deep collaboration across the university and with external partners who help bring discoveries to life in ways that strengthen communities, fuel economic vitality and create lasting public value."
