Collaborative Research Efforts

Collaborative research is an organizing principle for our school’s basic, clinical and translational studies.

Investigators are encouraged to self-associate with focus groups to elucidate the underpinnings of human disease and discover new treatments.

The university’s five health-sciences schools and its School of Engineering and Applied Sciences provide a fertile matrix for multidisciplinary collaborations.

Researchers also are strongly encouraged to explore shared ideas within the community of scientists at the university, as well as at affiliated research institutions in Buffalo, such as Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute.
