Shriners of North America - Shriners Hospitals for Children
The Shriners of North America is an international fraternity of approximately 500,000 members throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada and Panama. The Shrine's official philanthropy is Shriners Hospitals for Children, a network of 22 hospitals that provide expert, no-cost orthopaedic and burn care to children under 18.
Shriners Hospitals for Children - Portland Shriners Hospital
The Portland Shriners Hospital is a 40-bed pediatric orthopaedic hospital providing comprehensive orthopaedic care to children at no charge. The hospital is one of 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children throughout North America. There are 18 orthopaedic Shriners Hospitals, three burn Shriners hospitals, and one Shriners Hospital providing orthopaedic, burn and spinal cord injury care. The Portland Hospital accepts and treats children with routine and complex orthopaedic problems, utilizing the latest treatments and technology available in pediatric orthopaedics, resulting in early ambulation and reduced length of stay.
Oregon Health & Science University
Oregon Health & Science University is the state’s only health and research university. OHSU’s fundamental purpose is to improve the well-being of people in Oregon and beyond. As part of its multifaceted public mission, OHSU strives for excellence in scholarship, research, clinical practice and community service.
Oregon Health & Science University - Research Programs
A strong and thriving research program can be measured by a faculty's ability to acquire competitive grants from such federal agencies as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. At OHSU, grant dollars have nearly quadrupled in the past decade. Awards topped $256 million during fiscal year 2003. That money supports more than 1,500 projects, which include both basic and applied science. Scholars in health sciences, engineering, information technology and the environment are contributing new knowledge on everything from the genetics of health and illness to ethical questions raised by modern technology.
Oregon Health & Science University - Department of Cell and Developmental Biology
CDB is a basic science department that is dedicated to the education of medical and graduate students and to performing outstanding fundamental health related research.
Oregon Health & Science University - Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biolgoy
The mission of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is to promote outstanding fundamental research on mechanisms of disease at atomic and molecular levels of resolution. To reach this goal our faculty use a range of scientific approaches to assess protein structure and function, to evaluate the interactions of receptors with their ligands and transporters with their cargo within biological membranes, to dissect the biochemical properties of signal transduction networks and transcriptional pathways that influence cell fate and function, and to investigate the essential properties of disease-causing viruses and protozoan pathogens.
Oregon Health & Science University - Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics
The field of genetics has undergone dramatic changes during the last decade. Change has been especially evident in the area of mammalian genetics where the development of new techniques has increased our understanding of the human genome, provided new diagnostic tools, enabled the relatively facile modeling of certain human genetic diseases in the laboratory mouse and allowed the first steps towards the implementation of gene therapy. Many of these developments have been facilitated by interactions between medical geneticists and geneticists working on model systems such as bacteria, yeast, fruit flies and mice. Knowledge gained from the study of simpler organisms has provided important insight into human genetic diseases. The areas of research include molecular genetics, molecular biology of gene regulation, somatic cell genetics, developmental genetics, medical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular cytogenetics, population genetics, biochemical genetics, cell biology and biochemistry. Some laboratories are focusing on processes such as DNA repair mechanisms at both the basic understanding level and in relation to human disease. Others are involved in positional cloning and characterization of human disease genes. While others are working on basic genetic problems such as cell cycle control in yeast and mammalian cells as well as cell differentiation in, for example, normal and abnormal muscle cells.
National Center for Biotechnology, National Library of Medicine - PubMed
PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine, includes over 15 million citations for biomedical articles back to the 1950's. These citations are from MEDLINE and additional life science journals. PubMed includes links to many sites providing full text articles and other related resources.
