URIOUS We’re a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), meaning we’re one of the top 35 public research universities in the nation. We’re one of two AAU members in the Pacific Northwest, and the only one in Oregon. Ducks dive into research to find answers to some of humanity’s biggest questions. We’re using big data to save and improve lives, striving to predict earthquakes and tackle society’s challenges. We’re combining expertise across disciplines in math, biology, and genomics with biomedical data science and precision medicine to fight cancer. We’re coming together to define science and research education for the 21st century, shaping future generations of scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs who are ready to serve Oregon, the nation, and the world.
