Find out why President Gee says the partnership "holds enormous potential for Ohio to reshape the future of medicine"--while attracting good jobs to the Buckeye state.

Ray of light

It was a moment five years in the making: Ohio State�s new SCARLET laser fired up for the first time, shooting out a cigar-sized bolt of more than 400 trillion watts. Now, an exciting chapter of research can begin using this powerful tool.
