The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) has campuses in Oklahoma City and in Tulsa. The OUHSC is the State of Oklahoma's major health professions educational institution, training physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, public health specialists, and a wide range of allied health personnel.
The OUHSC is also one of only four comprehensive health centers in the nation with seven health professional Colleges:
- Allied Health
- Dentistry
- Graduate
- Medicine
- Nursing
- Pharmacy
- Public Health
Clinical and basic sciences research activities are underway throughout the OUHSC in multiple Research Centers including the Diagnostic Center
for Alzheimer's Disease. Faculty and students within each college are active in projects that possess both scientific and clinical applications. Areas of research range from the general to the specific and virtually all hold great applicability to large groups of people.
OUHSC faculty and students use the clinical, laboratory, and teaching facilities of:
Children’s Hospital at OU MEDICAL CENTER
Dean A. McGee Eye Institute
Oklahoma State Department of Health
Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation
OU MEDICAL CENTER
Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Oklahoma City and Muskogee)
Core research facilities, services, and laboratories at the OUHSC include:
Flow Cytometry and Imaging Laboratory
Glycobiology
Histology
Laser Mass Spectrometry
Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory
Microgen: Laboratory for Genomics and Bioinformatics
Molecular Biology Resource
Molecular Pathology Laboratory
Neuropathology Laboratory
Renal Pathology
All M.D./Ph.D Program classes and accreditation are taken through the OUHSC, but students may conduct their research projects at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), a private, non-profit biomedical research facility chartered in 1946 that specializes in the basic science of human disease.
OMRF scientists work at the molecular level to understand and find treatments for a range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, lupus and AIDS.
OMRF Research Programs are:
Arthritis and Immunology
Cardiovascular Biology
Clinical Pharmacology
Comparative Medicine
Crystallography
Free Radical Biology and Aging
Immunobiology and Cancer
Lipid and Lipoprotein
Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology
Molecular Immunogenetics
Protein Studies
OMRF Core Facilities are:
BIACORE
Clinical Immunology
DNA Sequencing
Flow Cytometry
Hybridoma Center for Agricultural and Biological Sciences
Imaging
Microarrays
Molecular Biology
Myositis Testing
Protein Expression
RPA/RNAi/In Situ Hybridization
Signal Transduction
Transgenics (Microinjection)
The OMRF also houses the state’s only Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, Charles T. Esmon, Ph.D. whose research focuses on mechanisms that control the process of blood clotting.
