Resources for the Research Community

From UB colleagues to local, national and international investigators, we support the entire research community by sharing data, performing specialized analyses and providing access to methods and expertise that bolster basic, clinical and translational studies.

  • Confocal Microscope and Flow Cytometry Facility
    11/7/23
    The Confocal Microscope and Flow Cytometry Facility (CMFCF) is a Dept. Pathology and Anatomical Sciences (PAS) service center serving the researchers in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences as well as the scientists located on the South and North Campus’s at the University at Buffalo.  We are part of the Health Sciences Collaborative Core Facilities and work closely with other PAS cores as well as the core facilities in the School of Dental Medicine to provide comprehensive and integrative services to solve the imaging and cytometry challenges presented by cutting-edge research programs.  The imaging and cytometry instrumentation installed in the new Jacobs School of Medicine site are the latest, state of art flow cytometers and optical microscopes.
  • H-AI-L (Human-A.I.-Loop) for Semantic Segmentation of Whole Slide Images
    11/12/19
    A solution for machine learning for pathologists, this tool automatically improves annotation and segmentation of medical images based on what it “learns” from the way the human user interacts with the system.
  • Histology Core
    8/16/23
    Performs all procedures related to tissue preservation and histological analysis, including training on cryostat use and other protocols.
  • Multispectral Imaging Suite
    10/2/19
    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.
  • Stem Cell Engraftment and In Vivo Analysis
    3/22/20
    Engrafts stem cells into mice and other model systems; quantifies cell engraftment, migration and differentiation, and analyzes the behavior consequences of neural engraftment.
  • UB Biorepository
    11/12/19
    The University at Buffalo biorepository program is designed to advance discovery and innovation in healthcare by providing a unique, centralized resource of high-quality, deeply annotated biospecimens to support present and future research studies, diagnostic development, and the creation of new therapeutics.
