Upstate Medical University | Institute for Human Performance

The Evolution of Our Vision

At the dawn of the new century, Upstate Medical University unveiled a bold new addition — the visionary Institute for Human Performance.

The product of 12 years of dreaming, drafting, refining and building, the Institute was designed to define — and then to dissolve — the current limits on human performance.

Originally envisioned as a training center for elite athletes, the Institute's mission has expanded to include all aspects of human ability and disability, including the impact of aging, illness and injury. Within one revolutionary facility — the size of a full city block

Scientists conduct biomedical research
Physicians deliver leading-edge care
Patients have access to the most advanced medical technologies and clinical studies.

The outcomes of these initiatives — in terms of both medical treatment and technology transfer — have the potential for worldwide impact. Like human performance itself, this is a facility with unlimited potential.
