Integrated Health and Biotechnology
Out of Our Lab
Into your world.
Health and well-being cover multiple dimensions — and so does research, education and outreach at Oregon State University. Researchers are emphasizing prevention and early intervention to predict and prevent illness before it starts. By integrating the tools of precision health, environmental science and artificial intelligence, Oregon State can address problems and make discoveries holistically and collaborate with communities to develop and implement equitable, scalable solutions.
The work that starts in the lab matters most when it’s out in the world — helping everyone to live well.

AI Chatbots for health care
To speed up diagnosis of rare diseases and expedite access to treatment, a team of Oregon State University students and faculty, and a rare disease expert at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, have created a chatbot for medical professionals. Instead of spending hours poring over journal articles, doctors can ask the chatbot to provide a succinct answer backed up by verified sources.
Find your path to a career in Health and Wellness
Oregon State University can prepare you for a rewarding career in health and wellness across multiple colleges and programs:
Changing Personalized Health Care
Oregon State’s expertise across disciplines helps deliver precision health care solutions that optimize treatment strategies for each person. By developing advanced biosensors and diagnostic platforms to create easy-to-use tools, researchers are empowering patients to be part of their own health care.
OSU Integrated Health and Biotechnology in the News
AI powers two internally funded projects in the College of Science: one uses large-language models to analyze predator diets for more climate-resilient fisheries. The other explores the role of vitamin D in bone health via immune peptides, aiming to strengthen bones and speed healing.
