Fight climate change

Improve human health
Across seven departments, along with interdisciplinary centers and institutes, OSU scientists collaborate to deconstruct disease, probe microbiomes, engineer new genetic solutions, model smarter public health interventions and build knowledge about the impact of COVID-19 on our community.
Get hands on
Our science students build a strong academic foundation through classroom learning, but it all really comes together in the lab, field or on the job through internships or global experiences.
