The University of Oklahoma has received an $11.5 million award from the National Institutes of Health to establish the Oklahoma Center of ImmunoEngineering, a new research center designed to accelerate the study and treatment of diseases rooted in the immune system, led by principal investigators Wei Chen, Ph.D., and Chongle Pan, Ph.D.
A new University of Oklahoma study — the first of its kind conducted in a real-world field setting over more than a decade — finds that sustained warming significantly increases the abundance, diversity and mobility of antibiotic resistance genes in soil.
A 12-year field experiment at the University of Oklahoma has revealed that warming's effect on soil carbon storage depends critically on precipitation. Understanding what controls whether soils gain or lose carbon has broad implications for the carbon cycle and beyond.
University of Oklahoma alumna Farris Tedder was recently named a 2026 Gates Cambridge Scholar, an international award given each year to scholars from around the world, including just 26 students from the United States, to pursue postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge.
In the longest-running field warming experiment of its kind, researchers have documented dramatic shifts in high-elevation mountain meadows, revealing that changes in climate alter not only the plants we can see above ground, but the invisible world of fungi and microbes in the soil below.
NORMAN, OKLA. – A groundbreaking study published in Nature’s Communications Biology sheds new light on the relationship between bats and dangerous viruses. Led by researchers at the University of Oklahoma, the study shows that contrary to widespread assumptions, not all bats carry viruses with high epidemic potential, only specific groups of species.
