“Advancing research discoveries to improve health for all.”
The University at Buffalo Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is focused on accelerating clinical and translational science to improve the health of our community and the nation.
We support the advancement of research across the entire translational spectrum — from the science of improving the translation of basic science discoveries into healthcare interventions, to the actual translation itself, to clinical trials, and to bringing these advances into the practice of medicine. We emphasize engaging our community in all phases of this process. We strive to achieve these ambitious goals through education, innovation, consultation, and support.
Essential to this work is the Buffalo Translational Consortium. With a team-based approach, we engage healthcare providers, research staff, trainees, faculty, and the community. Our CTSI is an active member of the CTSA consortium, a national network of more than 60 leading medical schools and academic health centers.
Now in our second decade, the CTSI is unwavering in our commitment to enhancing health and healthcare while expanding our reach in Western New York. We invite you to join us as we advance research discoveries to improve health for all.
