Arizona wants to expand a biomedical research campus that's being planned in downtown Phoenix.

The ambitious plan is all part of Arizona's drive to create a biotech hub in Arizona, as leaders recognize the need to draw high-paying jobs to the country's fast-growing state. But Pheonix may have an up-hill battle, due to shortfalls in the state's budget.
