Department Summary

The Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact is an
ambitious initiative designed to fast-track scientific discoveries
into innovations that improve the quality of life for people in
Oregon, the nation, and the world. The campus creates the
intellectual infrastructure to establish Oregon as a center for
both research and development, making Oregon a place where
companies can start up and grow. The Knight Campus will reshape the
higher education landscape in Oregon by training the next
generations of scientists, forging tighter ties with industry and
entrepreneurs, and creating new educational opportunities for
graduate and undergraduate students.

The Human Performance Alliance (HPA) at Oregon synergizes
regenerative medicine and rehabilitation protocols to restore
function to damaged tissues. An integrated interdisciplinary
approach has the potential to dramatically accelerate healing and
optimize functional recovery following a range of tissue damage
levels and even help prevent injuries before they happen.

HPA aims to transform human health on a global scale through the
discovery and translation of the biological principles underlying
athletic performance. The design team behind the Alliance is
focused on accelerating high-impact advances in human performance
by leveraging the rapidly advancing fields of bioengineering,
neuroscience, artificial intelligence, genetics, molecular biology,
imaging, and regenerative medicine.
