In addition, this strategic strength involves one research institute and three affiliated research centers:
Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics
The Institute’s focus is Photonics—the science and technology based on light. Photonics has been projected to play a dominant role in this century—impacting communication, information technology and health care, as well as consumer commodities. The Institute’s vision is much broader than that of a typical academic/research program. In addition to education and training of students, and conducting research, the Institute has as a major objective, to contribute to the economic development of the region.
Center for Spin Effects and Quantum Information in Nanostructures (CSEQuIN)
The purpose of the center is to foster interactions and collaboration among faculty at the University at Buffalo focusing on research and development and educational activities in the areas of spin effects and nanostructures. The Center also facilitates cooperative, multidisciplinary activities and multi-investigator research proposals and projects.
NanoBiotechnology Center at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (NBC@RPCI)
The mission of the NanoBiotechnology Center at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (NBC@RPCI) is to carry out multidisciplinary research on important cancer related problems, primarily the imaging, detection, and treatment of cancer.
As Upstate New York’s only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, Roswell Park has a long tradition of collaboration with scientists from various disciplines locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. The NBC at RPCI combines the expertise of scientists and practitioners of different backgrounds to translate nanobiotechnology through materials and translational research into clinical practice.
The Center on Hybrid Nanodevices and Systems (CoHNS)
CoHNS integrates scientific and technological achievements in nanomaterials and electronics with fundamental engineering research in the fields of public healthcare, environmental monitoring and communication. CoHNS promotes new directions in UB research and generates original engineering technologies.
