At Oregon State University, the AI seminar series has evolved into a dynamic center of intellectual exchange, drawing diverse audiences from academia and industry. Oregon State is the first university in the country to offer both master’s and doctoral degrees specifically in artificial intelligence.
A seminal advancement in mRNA vaccine technology, initially inspired by an academic inquiry at Oregon State University, has led to remarkable achievements in vaccine efficacy and stability. This breakthrough, published in May 2023 and featured in the Sept. 14, 2023 issue of Nature, includes the development of the “LinearDesign AI tool,” which is revolutionizing how vaccines are created. This novel approach has resulted in vaccines that generate antibody responses up to 128 times greater than traditional methods.
February 29 marked a major milestone for the Corvallis Microfluidics Tech Hub, or CorMic, as the consortium submitted their proposal to the U.S. Economic Development Administration to be considered for up to $70 million in funding as part of the Biden Administration’s Tech Hub Program. As one of the 31 Tech Hubs designated by the Biden Administration in October, CorMic has positioned itself to become a global leader in microfluidics over the next decade.
