Preclinical research in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences that investigated the origins of pain sensation has led to the development of a novel and durable treatment for inflammatory pain that could be a promising alternative to opioids.

A trainee in the MD-PhD Program has published a first-author paper in the Journal of Cell Science and was featured in one of the journal’s “First Person” interviews to highlight the study.

Researchers at the University at Buffalo Concussion Management Clinic have developed a decision rule using a brief, standardized physical exam for sport-related concussive brain injuries in children and adolescents that can readily identify who is at risk for persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS).

Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences researchers are involved in a study that delves into the evolution and function of the human growth hormone receptor gene and asks what forces in humanity’s past may have driven changes to this vital piece of DNA.
