Science Advancing Society
Meeting the needs of a rapidly changing world.
The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact integrates bioengineers and entrepreneurs to fast-track solutions that transform human health and train a workforce for Oregon and beyond.
Research Fueled by Impact
Home to the Department of Bioengineering and the Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program, the Knight Campus is training tomorrow's scientific workforce. Integrating research and entrepreneurship, we're accelerating the path from the lab to the marketplace—fueling Oregon's high-tech economy and bringing breakthrough solutions to society faster than ever.
Research
New work from the Plesa lab shows how massive datasets can aid in our fight against superbugs.
Innovation
Knight Campus medical device startup, Penderia Technologies, housed in our Papé Family Innovation Center, taps broad resources for entrepreneurs.
Workforce Development
Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program is fueling Oregon's semiconductor industry thanks to a $2M state investment.
Student Success
PhD candidate, Rose Hulsey-Vincent, recently received an NIH F31 award for her work in the Gardner Lab.
Our Growing Campus
The Knight Campus' physical expansion is progressing with the ongoing construction of Building 2, a four-story science building that will significantly enhance our research and academic capabilities. This new facility, inspired by the advancements in Building 1, will support our mission to advance research and education. Scheduled to open in 2026, Building 2 is expected to house 17-20 research groups focused on bioengineering and biomedical data science.
