Our research scientists and doctors have made important and internationally recognized contributions to medical science, including patents, discoveries and treatment advances.
Bruce R. Troen, MD, professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, wants people to know that a study published this month in the Annals of Internal Medicine — which shows no benefit from higher doses of vitamin D in the frail elderly — is not the final chapter on how vitamin D affects this population.
A study of 24-to-28-month-old mice, the equivalent of 65-to-80-year-old adults, has found that frailty can be slowed with what might be considered “over” supplementation with vitamin D, referred to as “hypersufficiency.”
Western New Yorkers who were recently exposed to a household member who has tested positive for COVID-19 now have an opportunity to be treated with a promising drug being investigated for COVID-19 infection.
A team of internationally recognized scientists at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences are testing melatonin as a treatment for patients with mild and moderate COVID-19.
Andrew H. Talal, MD, professor of medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, was justifiably proud when the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology was made in early October.
A powerful partnership that brought University at Buffalo faculty and community leaders together to fight against health disparities has allowed the community to blunt the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on Buffalo’s most vulnerable citizens.
Our school’s shared core instrumentation and transgenic animal facilities support research by UB faculty and investigators at our affiliated institutions.
The Comparative Medicine Laboratory Animal Facilities (CM-LAF) is a centralized service organization responsible for the animal care and use program campus-wide.
We provide training and consultation services for students, faculty, researchers and clinicians whose work involves digital whole slide imaging (WSI) and multispectral microscopy for research, teaching or clinical interests.
Offers instrumentation and the technical expertise required to express and purify milligram quantities of soluble and membrane proteins for biophysical and structural characterization.
Engrafts stem cells into mice and other model systems; quantifies cell engraftment, migration and differentiation, and analyzes the behavior consequences of neural engraftment.
Enables researchers to obtain transmission electron microscope images of materials, polymers and biological samples; consults with investigators and assists with equipment operation.
Our instrument laboratory provides training and consultation services for researchers whose work involves flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and gel-documentation. We work closely with other core facilities to provide comprehensive and integrative services to solve the imaging and cytometry challenges presented by cutting-edge research programs.
Our library system offers access to databases including Medline, AccessMedicine and MDConsult, and hosts multimedia resources from instructional videos to archival monographs.
