Dr. Sunil Sharma, a top physician-scientist at HonorHealth Research Institute, is named 'Arizona Bioscience Researcher of the Year' * Share * Post * Share Dr. Sharma, who heads the Research Institute's Center for Translational Science, is honored by the Arizona Bioindustry Association SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Sept. 23, 2026 - Sunil Sharma, M.D., FACP, M.B.A., director of the Center for Translational Science at HonorHealth Research Institute, has been named by the Arizona Bioindustry Association (AZBio) as the Arizona Bioscience Researcher of the Year. Dr. Sharma will be honored at the 2026 AZBio Awards, on Oct. 7 at the Phoenix Convention Center. The 23rd annual awards banquet is part of Arizona Bioscience Week, Oct. 5-9. "Recognized for his outstanding contributions to biological research and drug discovery, Dr. Sharma exemplifies what it means to push the frontiers of modern medicine," according to Joan Koerber-Walker, President and CEO of AZBio. "As Chief of Translational Research and Drug Discovery and Director of the Center for Translational Science at the HonorHealth Research Institute - as well as an ASU Research Professor at the John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering - Dr. Sharma has built a career around translating bench science into real-world patient outcomes." "Dr. Sharma has directly shaped global healthcare by contributing to the development of landmark therapies during his tenure in pharmaceutical leadership," said Koerber-Walker. "His work supported the development of breakthrough immunotherapies - including pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and nivolumab (Opdivo) - which train the human immune system to target and eliminate cancer cells, as well as targeted therapies like ceritinib for lung cancer." The Institute's leadership agrees, praising Dr. Sharma for his emphasis on treating patients: * Mark Slater, Ph.D., the Institute's CEO and Vice President of Research for the HonorHealth network: "We here at the HonorHealth Research Institute are so proud to have Dr. Sharma as our head of the Center for Translational Research. What really distinguishes him is his ability as an innovator to not only develop new understandings of disease, but to develop new tools and therapies from that understanding that makes a real difference for patients." * Michael Gordon, M.D., F.A.S.C.O., the Institute's Chief Medical Officer: "He has spent his career focusing on... patient care. When you hear him speaking about treating a patient, he comes to it with a depth of experience that really drives you to appreciate and understand that his goal is patient care." * Chad Adams, M.P.H., the Institute's Chief Operating Officer: "I think Dr. Sharma particularly brings to the table a very strong scientific mind. He also has collaborators from all over the world. He really wants to find solutions. He's willing to collaborate to find solutions to the gaps that exist in healthcare." Dr. Sharma, who describes himself as a physician-scientist, said he has always been interested how basic scientific research can lead to innovation, and how new treatments and new technologies, especially now, can benefit cancer patients. Of his award, Dr. Sharma said, "I think mostly it's recognition for the kind of work that we're doing and it's hopefully a great recognition for translational science in general, that it's important and that it can add something to the (Arizona) bioscience corridor that we're all trying to build." According to Koerber-Walker: "By uniting academic research, industry collaboration, and clinical execution, Dr. Sunil Sharma is not only advancing our fundamental understanding of biological processes - he is actively changing what is possible for patients in Arizona and around the world."

Shady Rays donates $396,000 in eyewear to support nurses across greater Phoenix hospital systems. Partnership with leading Arizona healthcare providers honors frontline caregivers during Nurses Week. 2 weeks ago May 11, 2026 (PRESS RELEASE) SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Shady Rays announced a major in-kind donation of premium blue light eyewear to healthcare professionals across the greater Phoenix area, in partnership with Phoenix Children's and HonorHealth. As part of its charitable giving arm, Shady Rays Impact, the company is donating a total of 9,000 pairs of blue-light glasses, valued at $396,000, to nurses and hospital staff in recognition of their dedication, resilience, and continued service to their communities. "Healthcare professionals give so much of themselves every single day, often in ways the public never sees," Shady Rays CEO Chris Ratterman said. "Through Shady Rays Impact, we're proud to recognize and support nurses in a meaningful way - providing something that not only says 'thank you,' but also helps them in their day-to-day lives." The initiative coincides with Nurses Week, a nationally recognized celebration honoring the critical role nurses play in patient care and community health. Each participating nurse will receive a complimentary pair of Shady Rays blue light glasses, designed to reduce eye strain from prolonged screen exposure - an increasingly common challenge in modern healthcare environments. In addition to the in-hospital distribution, Shady Rays is extending its appreciation beyond the workplace. Nurses who participate in the program will also receive an exclusive invitation to visit the brand's retail location at Shady Rays Kierland Commons, where they can enjoy 35% off all sunglasses through June 15, 2026. Shady Rays Impact, the company's charitable initiative, focuses on giving back through product donations, community partnerships, and purpose-driven campaigns. This latest effort builds on the brand's broader mission to combine high-quality products with meaningful social impact. "Our goal has always been bigger than just selling sunglasses," added Ratterman. "It's about showing up for communities in ways that matter - and this is one of those moments." Sponsored video.
