Published January 7, 2025

Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) formally joined the University at Buffalo on Jan. 2 after the two entities finalized the legal transfer of HWI assets to the university. The move, which commenced in May, places the nearly 70-year-old institute and its building on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus within the university’s research and educational ecosystems. Specializing in structural biology research that is critical to understanding and treating disease, the institute is now known as the University at Buffalo Hauptman-Woodward Research Institute (UB-HWI).
