It’s important to build upon UB’s strengths in basic, translational and clinical research to deliver meaningful results and fund the economic recovery of Western New York — all while utilizing resources to create hubs of innovation.
We aim to double research awards to the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in five years, with a 30 percent increase in federal funding and a 60 percent increase in other sources of research funding during that time frame.
Three groups — headed by leaders in research — are involved in the strategic planning:
Timothy Murphy, MD, is senior associate dean for clinical and translational research.
He is responsible for overseeing strategies that aim to transform the school’s research programs into new or improved treatments for patients and for assisting faculty and trainees at all levels in their research activities. He also directs the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
