The CTRC houses translational research laboratories, a clinical research center, an imaging center, laboratory animal facility and a repository for archiving samples of blood, tissue and DNA from research participants.
The University at Buffalo Clinical and Translational Science Institute is headquartered in the Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) on the growing Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
A 170,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art academic health center which opened in 2012, the CTRC provides a centralized facility for the institute, including administrative offices, translational research laboratories, a clinical research center, an advanced imaging center, a lab animal facility and a biorepository.
The University at Buffalo and Kaleida Health partnered to build the facility that houses the CTRC (which occupies floors 5 through 8) and the Gates Vascular Institute (floors 1 through 4).
This state-of-the-art center places clinicians adjacent to clinical and translational researchers and is one of only a handful of such buildings in the nation.
