The University at Buffalo CTSI performs innovative research across the T1 to T4 translational spectrum to improve health and reduce health disparities in our community and the nation. Because our community includes a large proportion of underrepresented minorities and people who experience health disparities, we place emphasis on efforts to engage our entire community so that all may benefit from participating in clinical and translational research. We strive to achieve these ambitious goals through education, innovation, consultation and support.
