Research at Upstate
is guided by four disease- based pillars that stimulate cross-departmental collaboration and inter- disciplinary
research. Our researchers are based in departments, but their work can also be thought of in the context of the pillars or in
the basic sciences.
Office of Vice President for Research
Clinical and Translational Research
Clinical research is an important component of the Upstate mission. Clinical studies aim to better understand the impact of diseases on specific populations, environmental or genetic risk factors of disease, and the effects of experimental treatments on specific diseases. Upstate's well-developed infrastructure supports a variety of clinical studies. Translational research connects basic science discoveries to patient care and occurs when laboratory findings are applied to patient care, or when observations of disease diagnosis, treatment, and progression are referred to the laboratory to unlock the mechanisms behind the observations. Clinical and translational research are strongly supported at Upstate because they relate directly to the Upstate mission of improving the health of the Upstate community.
