The OPRL was so honored to have Dr. Lacy Alexander visit our lab last week! 🌟 A big THANK YOU for presenting your exciting research and for the chance to connect over lunch and learn how you balance research, teaching, and your role as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Physiology. Thank you, Dr. Alexander! 🙌 #WomenInScience #ResearchExcellence #Mentorship #OPRL #HumanPerformance #HumanPhysiology

Pushing the limits of human performance one step at a time. University of Oregon 💪🏼

What if we could listen to what the 37 trillion cells in our bodies are saying and use the information to create a "weather report" to predict healing after injury? What if cells in our blood could tell doctors if we will heal after injury? These questions formed the central theme of Knight Campus Executive Director Bob Guldberg’s talk at TEDxPortland last April. The first University of Oregon faculty member to give a TEDxPortland talk since the UO became a title sponsor/presenting sponsor, Guldberg discussed his research involving the search for an early predictive signature for poor healing outcomes and the model he helped develop to predict trauma outcomes one week post-injury.
