Our Purpose

The University of Oregon is a founding partner in the new Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, a global effort to promote wellness and peak performance through scientific discovery and innovation. The university is one of six institutions in the research alliance.

The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Oregon is based in the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact.

Rather than study disease, alliance researchers will seek to understand peak physical performance—from the molecular level to the whole body—in their efforts to advance human health. Their ultimate goal is to help us all lead healthier, more active lives.
