Oak Crest Institute of Science

The environmental science program at Oak Crest utilizes fundamental chemistry methods to address important air and water quality problems confronting society today. Oak Crest develops novel techniques for detecting toxic trace pollutants in the air and biological particulates in water, for example. Our research leads to meaningful policy changes and improves the quality of life for the general public.

The medical research at Oak Crest produces ground-breaking advances in drug formulations that are urgently needed to overcome inadequate disease treatment and prevention in the developing world. Oak Crest successfully develops new ways to deliver antiviral drugs that prevent disease transmission and improve patient compliance.

The fundamental chemistry research supporting all laboratory programs generates advanced instrumentation for environmental monitoring and chemical detection. The instruments are designed to be low-cost, high-performing, and customizable. Oak Crest designs and develops detection devices that improve how research can be done in the field and how clinical work can be performed.
