Science programs have guided the evolution of research and education at OSU since its 1868 land grant designation.

OSU statisticians were awarded a four-year $770K NIH grant to innovate statistical methods to study the human microbiome and its role in human health.

The College of Science welcomes Maude David and spouse Kenton Hokanson, who joined the Department of Microbiology in January.

Microbiologists advance the fight against drug resistance, crafting a compound that genetically neutralizes a pathogen’s ability to thwart antibiotics.

Seventy participants from around the world gathered on campus for the 38th Annual Crown Gall Conference in October 2017. The two-day event was co-hosted by the departments of Microbiology and Botany & Plant Pathology.

The College of Science is proud to have pioneered many “firsts” in its 150-year history.

Science at Oregon State University has been a trailblazer since OSU's designation as a land-grant college in 1868.

The College of Science celebrated research, teaching and administrative excellence at its 2017 Fall Faculty and Staff Awards.

Applications are open for Oregon's top academic and professional fellowship program: The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry's OMSI Science Communication Fellowship.

Oregon State microbiologists have suggested a new paradigm for the study of microbiomes—one that has key implications for medical care.

Microbes that produce important secretions can suffer a blow to their own fitness for supplying non-producing “cheater” bacteria when certain nutrients are limited.

New research shows a species of diatom, a single-celled algae thought to be asexual, does reproduce sexually—a finding with important biotechnology implications.
