Signature Research Centers

Nanoscience. Drug discovery. Sustainable "green" technologies. These are the focus of OSU's increasing collaboration with other Oregon research universities, the private sector and state and federal agencies.

Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI)

ONAMI has been revolutionizing how universities collaborate on research for Oregon’s emerging industries. ONAMI has led to new business ventures at the Microproducts Breakthrough Institute; core initiatives developed at OSU include the OSU Materials Institute and the environmental health and safety initiative on safer nanomaterials. link to ONAMI

Oregon Translational Research and Drug Discovery Institute (OTRADI)

 

OTRADI’s focus is on infectious disease research and creating infrastructure for screening novel therapeutic targets, spurring access to collections of potential drugs and guide promising compounds towards commercialization. OSU’s collaborators are the Oregon Health & Science University, Portland State University and the University of Oregon, and Corporate partnerships with SIGA Technologies, Bend Research, and others. link to OTRADI

Oregon Built Environment and Sustainable Technology (Oregon BEST)

 

Boosted with funds from the Oregon University System, BEST’s mission is to catalyze and develop Oregon’s leadership in sustainability research. The focus is on “clean technology” for everything from renewable building materials and energy to wastewater systems and bioproducts. OSU is collaborating with Portland State University, the University of Oregon, and the Oregon Institute of Technology. link to BEST
