March 9 was a special day for Arizona - it marked the date in 1995 when Major League Baseball awarded an expansion franchise to Phoenix. The TGen team had the privilege of participating in “D‑backs Give Back Day,” where the organization celebrated surpassing $100 million in charitable donations since 1998.

Governor Katie Hobbs proclaimed today as the annual “D‑backs Give Back Day,” and we were welcomed with a red carpet before hearing remarks from Derek Hall, CEO, Ken Kendrick, Managing General Partner, and others.

We were reminded that everyone can give something, and when we do, the impact is often more powerful than we realize.

The following is a link to MLB's story about today, which really has all the details: https://www.mlb.com/dbacks/news/diamondbacks-surpass-100-million-in-charity-donations.

A special thank you to the Arizona Women's Board for their support in grant funding of kidney research at TGen. 💙 🧡

About the project: Kidney Health Blood Markers and Spatial Transcriptomic Tissue Profiling in Native Americans

This grant funds two studies to identify population-specific markers predicting kidney disease onset, progression and treatment response, with a focus on diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic decision-making for Native American patients. Native Americans are profoundly underrepresented in genomic, molecular and clinical research, resulting in “precision” medicine tools that are not truly precise for Native American patients.

Using high-throughput technology to profile more than 9,500 proteins from blood plasma, the Kidney Health Blood Markers study will dramatically enhance the ability to detect subtle molecular changes associated with disease onset and progression in the Native American populations.

Spatial Transcriptomic Profiling study will apply this technology to kidney tissue of Native American patients to map kidney disease heterogeneity, microenvironmental features, and actionable molecular pathways to develop more population-specific strategies for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment decisions.
