Ponte Cura: the bridge to cures is the annual community fundraising event supporting AZAdvances programs each year. Honorary Co-chairs Elsa Chi Abruzzo & Dr. Todd Abruzzo invite you to support AZAdvances and join us for Two Great Events Supporting One Great Cause during Arizona Bioscience Week.
I always knew I wanted to spend my career helping others. I grew up wanting to pursue anything and everything from becoming a UN ambassador to wanting to cure cancer. The allure of the opportunity to help advance the field of medicine is what led me to double major in biomedical engineering and biochemistry at Arizona State University. Though I entered college still unsure of how I wanted to help people, I knew that having the opportunity to problem solve through engineering would be an amazing way to learn about myself and how I can best contribute to the field of medicine.

When you think of health innovators, do philanthropists and community champions come to mind? They should. Without the support of these amazing people, many of the treatments and cures we have today, and the ones we still need to develop, would not be realized.
