ASU forms innovative international health care partnership

February 17, 2011 By Arizona State University

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

ASU and Taiwans 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.

ASUs Nobel laureate, Leland Hartwell, is chief scientist at the Biodesign Institutes 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.

This agreement unites two ambitious research universities that are dedicated to improving health care through a comprehensive interdisciplinary effort that seeks collaborative engagement of key health care stakeholders including: governments, public and private health insurers, research institutes, industry, and innovative health care delivery systems around the world.

The Center for Sustainable Health (CSH) at ASU was founded by Michael Birt, director. CSH will provide expertise, technology platforms, access and informatics support to the Chang Gung Biosignatures Center. It is anticipated that research centers at multiple sites both in Taiwan and internationally will exchange information in a pre-competitive space to improve health outcomes and reduce the human and financial cost of disease.

“In addition to our relationship with Chang Gung University itself, we have been delighted by the response from leading companies in the medical field interested in collaborating with us to provide more innovative solutions to help sustain health,” Birt said.

Last year, the Center for Sustainable Health (CSH) launched the Global Biosignatures Network (GBN) to harness scientific, academic, industry and health care system resources to make a major impact on 21st century health care practice. A global network of Biosignatures Centers also is needed to properly scale the effort, provide rigorous standards of practice needed to overcome barriers, and supply a global platform to share methods, results and experiences. In keeping with CSHs mission to sustain human health, the GBN will work with forward?thinking partners to establish additional Biosignatures Centers within member systems. Each Biosignatures Center will serve as a virtual coordinating center to discover, develop, validate and implement diagnostic tests based on new enabling molecular and digital technologies for managing disease with an emphasis on prevention, early detection and effective therapeutic interventions.
