generations of scientists, forging tighter ties with industry and entrepreneurs, and creating new educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students.
The Human Performance Alliance (HPA) at Oregon synergizes regenerative medicine and rehabilitation protocols to restore function to damaged tissues. An integrated interdisciplinary approach has the potential to dramatically accelerate healing and optimize functional recovery following a range of tissue damage levels and even help prevent injuries before they happen.
HPA aims to transform human health on a global scale through the discovery and translation of the biological principles underlying athletic performance. The design team behind the Alliance is focused on accelerating high-impact advances in human performance by leveraging the rapidly advancing fields of bioengineering, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, genetics, molecular biology, imaging, and regenerative medicine.
