Welcome to Pacific northwest bioMedical Innovation Co-laboratory (PMedIC), the research partnership between Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
PMedIC was established in 2018 to advance patient-specific approaches for diagnosis and clinical care. Since 2018, PMedIC has grown to support collaborations throughout the discovery-to-translation spectrum. More than 50 projects and 100 publications have arisen from PMedIC as of 2025, with many of our investigators forming lasting collaborations.
Led by co-directors at each institute, the PMedIC Leadership Team is your contact point to make new connections, and to advance your research and impact.
Our mission: Generate, interpret, and integrate high-dimensional, multi-omics data, imaging and clinical results to gain mechanistic understanding of disease and develop innovative therapies.
Our vision: Transform human health through innovative and collaborative research in tandem with the cultivation of a diverse biomedical community.
Funding opportunities
Through the generous support of our institutions, PMedIC offers funding opportunities throughout the year (typically in spring and fall). To prepare for these funding announcements, OHSU scientists can get a sample of the unique PNNL Capabilities.
To prepare for these funding announcements, visit our Funding Opportunities page and OHSU researchers can learn about unique PNNL capabilities.
Find a research collaborator
For assistance in finding a collaborator, scientists at PNNL and OHSU can submit confidential ideas for their projects through a research project request.
Internships
We offer research-focused internships for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers interested in the work we do. Interns gain experience participating in research at a Department of Energy national laboratory and receive mentorship from world-class researchers. It's an exciting opportunity to get further experience in medical research.
Community science education
The PMedIC Leadership Team is also interested in promoting understanding of science in our community. If your education group is interested in learning more about how our researchers are transforming human health through innovative and collaborative research, please contact PMedIC to discuss possibilities.
