OHSU recently released a Research Directory internally for OHSU employees. This Directory provides a profile for each researcher at OHSU - created by the researcher. It also contains all of each researcher’s publications (PubMed) and grants (CRISP) as well as research funded by OHSU.
OHSU has very kindly extended the offer to OBA members to have access to this Directory. Please contact bob@oregonbio.org for more information.
This is a very important step forward in optimizing awareness and information exchange between academic research and industry, as well as making the research at OHSU easily accessible to the other member research institutions.
