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,
which opened in 2012, provides 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.
The Comparative Medicine Laboratory Animal Facilities
(CM-LAF) is a centralized service organization responsible for the
animal care and use program campus-wide.
Enables researchers to obtain transmission electron microscope images of materials, polymers and biological samples; consults with investigators and assists with equipment operation.
Engrafts stem cells into mice and other model systems; quantifies cell engraftment, migration and differentiation, and analyzes the behavior consequences of neural engraftment.
Combines expertise in statistical genetics and genomics in the design, oversight, implementation, analysis, publication and reporting of collaborative studies.
Provides state-of-art bioinformatics assistance for the design, analysis, and interpretation of genomics, proteomics, and other high-resolution, high-throughput based studies for better understanding of cancer biology.
Our instrument laboratory provides training and consultation
services for researchers whose work involves flow cytometry,
confocal microscopy and gel-documentation.
Provides transgenic approaches for the systematic dissection of the genetic, molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying complex biological processes.
Offers instrumentation and the technical expertise required to express and purify milligram quantities of soluble and membrane proteins for biophysical and structural characterization.
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.
