  • 'Stealth' Particle Containing Factor VIII Could Prevent or Render Benign Inhibitor Antibodies in Hemophiliacs
    6/3/03
    A tiny lipid particle developed by pharmaceutical scientists at the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has the potential to improve significantly the lives of hemophiliacs who have developed a dangerous immune response to the frequent injections of factor VIII, the clotting factor that keeps them alive.
  • Prasad Receives Excellence Award from SUNY; 14 Other UB Faculty Members Recognized for Research Efforts
    6/2/03
    Paras Prasad, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry in the University at Buffalo's College of Arts and Sciences, has been honored by the State University of New York for his "singular contribution to scholarship and the reputation of the university." He was one of 14 UB faculty members honored for their research.
  • Student-Designed Chairs 'Celebrate the Human Body'
    5/30/03
    The chair. Many view this humble device simply as a means -- sometimes comfortable, sometimes not -- to "take a load off." But for architecture students who completed the seating design assignment in Abir Mullick's "Senior Studio" this spring in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University at Buffalo, the chair became something more.
  • UB Recognizes Architecture and Planning Students
    5/28/03
    Students in the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning recently received awards for excellence in their fields of study.
  • International 'Frontiers In Bioinformatics' Symposium to be Held by UB Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics
    5/7/03
    World-class scientists in the fields of bioinformatics, structural genomics and proteomics will gather next month at a symposium presented by the University at Buffalo Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics to discuss the cutting-edge science essential for advancements in genetic analysis and drug discovery in the post-genomic era.
  • UB Workshop to Focus on X-Ray Diffraction Method that Reveals the Nature of Drug-Substrate Interactions
    5/5/03
    A new, more powerful method of determining the details of molecular structure will be the topic of an international workshop to be held May 12-17 at the University at Buffalo.
  • Body Temperature May Be Regulated by Neural Connection between the Retina and the "Body Clock," UB Scientists Find
    4/13/03
    Scientists from the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences are helping to reveal the mysteries of the mammalian biological clock, the grouping of cells in the brain that regulates the basic physiological functions known as circadian rhythms.
  • Particles from U.S. Dust Storms of the 1930s May Have Traveled as Far as Greenland, UB Research Shows
    4/3/03
    Specks of dust may have traveled from America's Great Plains all the way to Greenland in the Arctic Region during the Dust Bowl storms of the 1930s, according to new findings by atmospheric physicists at the University at Buffalo.
  • UB Students to 'Explore Mars' in Utah
    4/3/03
    University at Buffalo doctoral student Brent Garry has always wanted to go to Mars, but for now he'll settle for Utah. For the next 10 days, he and Abby Semple, another UB doctoral student, will be part of a small team that is simulating the living and working conditions on Mars by donning space suits, exploring the geology of the very "Mars-like" canyons of Utah.
  • 'Physics for (Future) CEOs' Will Provide UB Students with a More Pragmatic Approach to Newton's Science
    4/3/03
    OK, "Physics for Poets." Move over. In what is perhaps a sign of the times, University at Buffalo students will be able to fulfill their undergraduate science requirement by taking "Physics for CEOs and Other Decision Makers: the Energy Perspective," a new course focusing on energy issues that will debut in the fall.
