Our students make great strides in their fields before they even
graduate. Krishnan Chakravarthy, one of our MD/PhD candidates,
coordinated a collaboration between UB and the Centers for Disease
Control for RNA virus research and founded a nanotech startup to
develop his research for potential treatments.
Benefit directly from our translational research programs and
facilities. The UB Clinical and Translational Research Center,
scheduled to open in spring 2012, will provide innovative research
tools, training and coordination to support collaborative
research.
Pursue your interests with support from faculty and resources in
your field. You can earn your PhD in the traditional sciences; in
chemical, biological or mechanical engineering; or in cancer
research at the world-renowned Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
Our program’s selective character and small size—we
have fewer than 30 students—ensures that you will receive
individual guidance and attention from faculty and have a wide
choice of thesis mentors.

Engrafts stem cells into mice and other model systems; quantifies cell engraftment, migration and differentiation, and analyzes the behavior consequences of neural engraftment.
Utilizes advanced PET radiopharmaceuticals/tracers and the latest PET/CT imaging technology to explore a wide variety of clinical and research questions.
Provides transgenic approaches for the systematic dissection of the genetic, molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying complex biological processes.
Buffalo is known for its snow, but dig a little deeper and you’ll discover that our region enjoys four distinct seasons, each remarkable in its own right.
