Faculty Insights
“My research with UB and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute allows me to work in an area where I can have a positive and vital impact on the lives of others. I believe that Nanomedicine will have a very bright future and will continue to significantly impact our society.”
“The goal is to develop an inexpensive tool for rapid early screening of multiple diseases, like cancer.”
“If appropriately engineered, nanomaterials are superior to competing materials for aspects of electromagnetic, electrochemical, thermal and structural applications. Showing this requires comparative evaluation”
“When you analyze something on the nano level, eventually what it means is that you are getting to the heart of the problem, so that there isn’t a grand scale problem.”
“In general UB faculty are very open to collaboration. I’ve worked with faculty from at least five other departments in my research. The new materials, devices, and therapies that have been developed here at UB could not possibly have been accomplished without this collaboration.”
“Battery research is inherently interdisciplinary, and their applications necessarily have far-reaching consequences. For example, the lithium/silver vanadium oxide battery has served primarily in medical devices such as implantable cardiac defibrillators; however, the fundamental science providing long battery life and high efficiency levels may be applicable to battery use in countless other devices.”
“I think the quality of life has already been affected by nano research. I would like to see the materials we fabricate make a significant impact on society.”
