Research in SUNY Upstate's College of Graduate Studies focuses on the most prevalent and pressing human health issues: Cancer; Disorders of the Nervous System; Infectious Diseases; Diabetes/Metabolic Disorders/Cardiovascular Diseases. Our four areas of concentration account for 75 percent of the campus' funded research, and emphasize some of the most intriguing areas of biomedical investigation.

As part of an academic medical center, our graduate students can take advantage of the plentiful intellectual capital and world-class research facilities in their midst. Our students join well-respected researchers on the faculty in a multi-disciplinary approach to asking—and sometimes answering—important scientific questions. It is a tremendous opportunity, and our students are ready for the challenge.
