University of Oregon Campus Could Be Cornerstone of New Biotech Hotspot

Published: Feb 15, 2021 By Alex Keown Drew Angerer/Getty Images A new biotech hotspot could be on the horizon in Oregon thanks to a $500 million gift to the University of Oregon from Nike co-founder Phil Knight, an alumnus of the university. The financial gift led to the creation of the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. Officially Knight Campus will support researchers as they advance the initiative’s mission to shorten the timeline between discovery, development and deployment of innovative treatments. The facility was established in hopes of accelerating scientific discovery and development through training programs and entrepreneurship in what is being billed as a collaborative cross-discipline environment. With this focus on innovative partnerships, the new campus could serve as a cornerstone of a new biotech hotspot in the Pacific Northwest. The initial $500 million grant has been augmented by $70 million in state bonds and ad

Knight Campus aims to fast-track scientific discoveries through biomedical technologies and research

The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact had its virtual grand opening on Dec. 2. The campus, which focuses on biomedical technologies, aims to advance society through science and shorten the timeline between discovery and societal impact.  Phil and Penny Knight gifted $500 million to the University of Oregon for this building project in 2016, and state bonds and additional philanthropy have added an extra $70 million. Construction began on March 2, 2018, and after approximately 800,000 labor hours, the campus was completed.  The Knight Campus is composed of four research “neighborhoods” in the same building, and these neighborhoods serve as facilities for imaging, 3-D printing and rapid prototyping. Scientists at the campus are working on startups such as 3-D printing orthopedic implants, creating devices with built-in sensors to monitor healing and commercializing a molecule to treat vision disorders.
