Health experts stand around a world globe that has a health symbol on it.

Supporting the Expansion of Population Health Research at UB

Our focus? Understanding and improving the health of populations by addressing the factors that influence health, such as social determinants of health, behavioral factors, environmental factors, as well as health care access and quality.

Here in the Division of Population Health, we aim high. We seek to leverage existing resources across the University at Buffalo, expand the population health expertise within the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, create effective infrastructure to grow the Department’s research portfolio, and provide clinical analytics support for the practice plan and University at Buffalo partners.

Our division incorporates faculty with expertise across a broad range of methodologies relevant to population health, and we provide infrastructure to support the expansion of population health research across the Department of Medicine. This includes biostatistical support and research implementation infrastructure, as well as clinical analytics support for the UBMD Physicians’ Group practice plan and University at Buffalo partners.
