Our Team

The University at Buffalo Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) includes representatives of all the Buffalo Translational Consortium (BTC) partners.

The BTC, formed in 2009, brings together the premier educational, research and clinical institutions, with influential community-based organizations, into a partnership with a vision of improving the health of our region. The BTC engages key stakeholders, including patients, clinicians and health care delivery systems, in all phases of clinical and translational research.

The CTSI acts as the coordinating hub of that alliance. The shared environment created through the BTC, the investments in social capital, technology and expertise, and a will to cooperate, combine to create a strong foundation for the CTSI to transform translational research in the Buffalo Niagara region.
