Core Research Facilities

Core research facilities and resources are essential to maintaining internationally recognized faculty research projects, increasing extramural funding, and providing modern graduate education and faculty recruitment and retention.

Upstate supports eight institutional core research facilities, and four additional facilities are supported and maintained at the departmental level.

Steve Hicks was awarded a three-year National Institutes of Health pre-doctoral fellowship ($99,796) from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for his project, "Effects of ethanol on cell cycle regulation and DNA repair in neural progenitors." Using a mouse model, Hicks studies the effects of ethanol on neurogenesis as it applies to fetal alcohol syndrome and chronic alcoholism. After he earns his dual degree from Upstate, Hicks plans to combine neuroscience research with primary care medicine "to advance the way we understand and treat disorders associated with the human brain," he said.
