RESEARCH CONCENTRATIONS IMPROVING HUMAN HEALTH BY LINKING OUR MISSION Our mission is to educate students through our biomedical science programs to be discoverers, leaders, and innovators in biomedical research. Research labs at Upstate are exploring both common and complex illnesses that affect people all over the world. These include potential treatments and cures for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, infectious diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, blinding diseases, and many more. Our scientists use technological advances to explore diseases at a molecular and cellular level and to develop targeted treatments. Basic research in structural, molecular and systems biology informs and supports all our research, and our scientists include nationally recognized experts in these fields. As our College is closely aligned with Upstate’s College of Medicine and its teaching hospitals, our interests span the range from basic research to clinical trials. Upstate also has partnerships — on campus and around the world — to deepen and broaden understanding and discovery.
Upstate’s Neuroscience Research Building is home to several basic and clinical departments collaborating on neuroscience research.
