Garwood Medical Devices is based in downtown Buffalo and is developing “smart bandage” medical devices. The devices will contain integrated sensor and communications technologies to enable unprecedented outpatient treatment for implant infections and chronic wounds.
Chemistry professor and CCR user, Jochen Autschbach, is a co-author of a paper that reports a major breakthrough regarding the properties of a catalyst that chemists have been seeking for decades.
CCR is collaborating with researchers at the Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) to develop an expert crystallization knowledge system built upon the vast library of historical data from crystallization experiments.
REDfly seeks to include all experimentally verified fly regulatory elements along with their DNA sequence, their associated genes, and the expression patterns they direct. Dr. Marc Halfon (Biochemistry) and CCR have built a valuable tool for the research community.
This project seeks to understand how retinal ganglion cells are generated and maintained. The knowledge obtained from this study will serve as guidance in future endeavors to develop preventive and therapeutic measures for diseases such as glaucoma & optic neuritis.
CHREST leverages UB's faculty and students in engineering, CS, and math, with industry & government partners, to better describe turbulent reacting flows.
Dr. Kenneth Regan's algorithms utilize tens of thousands of chess game datasets, along with the high-performance computing resources from the Center for Computational Research, to help determine if a chess opponent is making moves like a human or more like a computer.
NSF ACCESS Metrics: ACCESS Monitoring and Measurement Service (MMS) is responsible for monitoring and measurement of the ACCESS Cyberinfrastructure (CI) facilities.
CCR in collaboration with Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Hauptman-Woodward Institute, and others offer an intensive weeklong workshop for high school students every summer.
Dr. Karwan uses CCR’s industry cluster to help solve one of the NFL’s more computationally challenging problems - how to schedule so many games in such a short timespan.
High performance computing was used to design cost-effective systems to safeguard the nation’s groundwater supplies from contaminated sites. The search procedures and tools that come from this research can be tailored to a wide variety of geoscience challenges.
Software and a website developed at CCR, miRdSNP, aim to enable researchers to further explore the effects of SNPs on micro-RNA binding in relation to human diseases by providing a database of manually curated disease-associated SNPs from the available literature
Dr. Richelle Allen-Kin (Department of Geology) is working to systematically evaluate the relative impacts of soil and sorption heterogeneity on contaminant storage and removal in sedimentary aquifers.
Professor Paul DesJardin of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department and CCR user, employs computational fluid dynamics to develop a better understanding of the turbulent flow for improved predictions of fire intensity and growth.
A collaboration with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra was pursued to assess the risk of infection and develop strategies to mitigate the spread of respiratory particles using computational fluid dynamics.
The air sterilization technology SteriSpaceTM, developed by a local company You First Services, destroys airborne biological pathogens and can be a stand-alone unit for a room or integrated into a building air handling system and can be customized for different configurations.
