UB's NYS Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics & Life Sciences is connecting businesses, scientists and resources to accelerate life sciences discoveries. 

Researchers are using light in novel ways to power our economy and to improve our healthcare. Photonics - the science and technology based on light - is invaluable in nanomedicine.

A $100 million partnership between Buffalo and New York City is leading the nation in genomic research. The Buffalo Institute for Genomics & Data Analytics leverages the university's expertise in life sciences and high-performance computing in collaboration with the New York Genome Center. 

Businesses compete better using technological innovations discovered through the NYS Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics with its focus on materials and computational sciences.

As part of a national initiative, the UB Microbiome Center encourages innovative research to improve our health, boost food production and restore the environment.

The biorepository program is designed to advance discovery and innovation in healthcare by providing a unique, centralized resource of high-quality, deeply annotated biospecimens to support present and future research studies, diagnostic development, and the creation of new therapeutics.
