The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) is the leading healthcare research institution in Oklahoma. At the OU Health Sciences Center, research is an extensive, collaborative, and multidisciplinary endeavor in which hundreds of investigators are working toward a shared goal: to advance the knowledge that improves the lives of people in Oklahoma and beyond. Cutting-edge research takes place within all seven colleges at the OU Health Sciences Center, with community partners in Oklahoma and across the world, and as part of OU Health, Oklahoma’s only comprehensive academic healthcare system of hospitals, clinics, and centers of excellence. Strategic research areas are diabetes, cancer, neurosciences/vision, infectious diseases, and geroscience, but the breadth and depth of our research enterprise extends to every aspect of individual and community health. Projects are often interdisciplinary, bringing together researchers from historically unrelated fields to seek discoveries based on common themes. The OU Health Sciences Center is also home to the largest and most advanced biomedical infrastructure in Oklahoma. The OUHSC DISCOVERY Study team brings together members with more than 50 combined years of professional research experience across federally funded, pharmaceutical, and investigator-initiated studies, including large, multi-site, longitudinal clinical and observational studies, recruiting from across the state of Oklahoma.
