Overview
Research and Development

The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine is a small research institute founded in 1980 to conduct basic and applied research in subjects immediately applicable to im­provements in human life — including biochemistry, diagnos­tic medicine, nutrition, preventive medicine, and aging.

The Institute is supported by donations and the inde­pendent earnings of its faculty and volunteers. It does not solicit or accept tax-financed government funds.

The Institute has six faculty members, several volunteers who work actively on its projects, and a large number of volunteers who help occasionally. It owns a 10,000 square foot building located in a rural setting about 7 miles from the town of Cave Junction in southern Oregon. This building includes a 5,000 square foot laboratory and library used for the Institute's research and educational work. This facility and a good complement of research equipment are the Institute's principal physical assets. The Institute has no debts and a policy of incurring none.

At present, work is proceeding on several specific pro­jects including the role of protein amides as molecular timers of protein turnover, development, and aging; the use of urine and blood profiling for predictive and preventive medicine; and the development of comprehensive materials for use in home school education.

The Institute is classified by the IRS as a 501(c)3 public foundation, so all donations are tax deductible.
