Oklahoma State University is a Tier 1 research university offering a full range of degrees in Engineering, Biotechnology, Agriculture and Medicine | Oklahoma State University is a land grant institution, focused on improving our quality of life by bringing new technologies, processes, research, and medicines to the marketplace. OSU is showcasing several technologies that are at the right stage for partnering at BIO International. Cowboy Enterprises is the orange-plated, premium conduit for Industry and Oklahoma State University engagement. Meeting needs for research, technology transfer, lab & research facilities, research park, as well as mutually beneficial collaborations, Cowboy Enterprises would like to show you how OSU Orange is the answer. Our mission runs parallel with that of Oklahoma State University’s land grant mission of taking university research from “CAMPUS TO COMMUNITY”. Collaborating with research Cowboy Innovations and OSU’s researchers to identify technologies that have commercial interest and viability, and progress them to later stages of development that will meet market needs. The College of Veterinary Medicine is a major research center on campus. We have invested in state of the art laboratory facilities to accomplish our mission of service to companion animal, livestock, and human health and well-being. These laboratories are designed to the highest standards for conduct of infectious disease and toxicology research and meet all federal and state regulatory guidelines. OSU-CHS Tulsa (Center for Health Sciences) has just brought on-line a new facility that is centrally managed for FDA Clinical Trials (non-ontological). OSU-CHS has conducted clinical trials since the early 2000’s with an average of 10 to 15 clinical trials a year. Over the last four years, there have been a total of 16 FDA-regulated clinical trials. It is important to note that the clinical trials range in time frame from 1 to 15 years (thus overlapping between the years for the total number of trials). The OSU-CHS clinical trials unit supports clinical trial operations for our investigators in Tulsa, within our outpatient clinical practice areas. Active clinical trials include Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and Internal Medicine specialty services (Ryan White Center). Oklahoma Center for Respiratory and Infectious Diseases (OCRID) OCRID is a focal point for expanding respiratory infectious disease research in Oklahoma. OCRID engages in critical research on respiratory infectious diseases with a focus on the influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and respiratory bacterial and fungal infections, and now COVID-19. The interdisciplinary projects in OCRID cover therapeutics, vaccine, diagnostics, disease pathogenesis, nutrition, and bioengineering. OCRID provides training and mentoring to junior faculty and the next-generation of scientists, promotes collaboration among scientists throughout the region, recruits new faculty to member institutions, and strengthens biomedical research infrastructure. Institute for Translational and Emerging Research in Advanced Comparative Therapy (INTERACT) Located in the College of Veterinary Medicine, INTERACT leads the one-health mission of OSU by bringing together clinicians, scientists and researchers involved in fundamental discovery, industry and foundations under one roof. INTERACT is endowed with state-of-the art research and clinical infrastructure, and dedicated personnel. We are currently running several clinical trials. We welcome researchers from across the nation to collaborate and participate in our preclinical projects or clinical trials. The Center for Health Systems Innovation (CHSI) creates solutions to transform patient care with an intensive focus on rural primary care and communities. We design, test, and implement solutions to clearly defined problems in rural primary care clinics and hospital settings. Additionally, CHSI focuses on mental health and its impact on outcomes. The National Center for Wellness and Recovery (NCWR), part of Oklahoma State University Center for Health Services, is a leading medical educator and healthcare provider. Our vision is to eliminate addiction through research and excellence in patient care. The NCWR is looking for partners to advance the treatment and prevention of addiction along with innovative therapies for pain. Rural healthcare providers face patients with more chronic diseases than other populations of the same age. Therefore, we focus on the following diseases: Heart disease, Stroke, Hypertension, Diabetes, Respiratory, and Addiction. Human Performance and Nutrition Research Institute (HPNRI) Oklahoma State University is harnessing the university’s cutting-edge research expertise in human performance and nutrition science, coupling it with advanced knowledge from our elite strength and conditioning staff and leveraging it with leading industry partner relationships to create a first-of-its-kind, university-based research institute. Oklahoma Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (OADDL) Promoting the overall well-being of animal health through veterinary diagnostic testing, instruction of professional students, and research in diseases of economic importance to Oklahoma and beyond. National Center for Veterinary Parasitology Launched in 2009, the National Center for Veterinary Parasitology (NCVP) at Oklahoma State University’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences is helping carry the fight against parasites and vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and the organisms they transmit. These foes attack humans, animals and our food supply. The National Center for Veterinary Parasitology is the only one of its kind and began with the financial backing of the Kirkpatrick Foundation, Novartis Animal Health, Bayer Animal Health and Merial. Since many of these parasites are zoonotic and can cause disease in people, so identifying and treating the infections are particularly important. The center also provides egg per gram counts for horses and cattle, allowing veterinarians to tailor integrated parasite management programs and monitor treatment effectiveness. Comparative Metabolic Lab The Comparative Metabolism laboratory investigates glucose metabolism during metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes, insulin resistance and obesity) and novel metabolic therapeutic strategies that could benefit both veterinary and human patients. Diabetes and obesity, global epidemic diseases, are significant risk factors for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. One of the major pathogenic processes underlying these metabolic diseases results from a deficit of insulin production or action, with dysfunctional glucose uptake into insulin-sensitive tissues. Core Facilities Genomics and Proteomics Center: Providing DNA and Protein sequencing and genomic and proteomic analyses across the campus. DNA Protein Core Facility: The Facility performs specialized biochemical analysis, manages a battery of multi-user equipment including mass spec, provides technical expertise, and vends specialized biochemicals, to analyze structure and function of DNA and proteins. Oklahoma Statewide Shared Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility: NMR is an extremely versatile and robust spectroscopic method for studies of biomolecules in solution. Indeed, this is the only spectroscopic technique that provides detailed structural and dynamic information of a biomolecule in its native environment. The Facility allows users including faculty members, post-doctoral scientists, graduate and undergraduate students in all major academic institutions, 4-year undergraduate colleges as well as scientists working in industries in Oklahoma and the surrounding region (Kansas and Texas) to conduct research investigations. We welcome scientists from all parts of the country to take advantage of this state-of-the-art facility.
