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 foundational sciences.
Office of Vice President for Research
 CancerAll research at Upstate—basic, translational, and clinical—is broadly grouped in four areas of concentration: Disorders of the Nervous System; Diabetes, Metabolic Disorders, and Cardiovascular Diseases; Cancer; Infectious Diseases. Students and faculty contribute to significant, well-funded cancer research at the basic and clinical levels. These research projects reflect a single, goal-oriented approach that cuts across academic departments. In addition to basic science investigations in such areas as tumor cell invasion, oncogenes, immunotherapy and genetic inheritance, our scientists and physicians participate in national cancer trials. |
Research Highlight
William Kerr, a former Newman Scholar of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, brought more than $3.8 million in NIH funding this year to SUNY Upstate. Kerr investigates the role a novel gene (LRBA) plays in cancer cells, and studies a particular enzyme (SHIP) involved in the rejection of bone marrow and organ transplants. Read More >
