New York’s leading public research universities are on the forefront of education and scientific innovation.


Only sixty-five years young, Stony Brook University is recognized as one of the nation’s top research universities, serving as a powerful engine for economic development, technological innovation and clinical care. SBU is not only transforming lives by revolutionizing cancer prognosis and advancing life-saving technologies for cardiac patients but also by offering a world-class education to students from all socio-economic backgrounds, providing them unmatched social and economic mobility.

The University at Buffalo was recognized as a research powerhouse back in 1989, when it became the first public university in New York invited to join the AAU, and its impact has only grown over the years. From developing new ways to treat memory loss in Alzheimer’s to pioneering minimally invasive surgical techniques, UB is making discoveries that lead to longer, healthier lives.

How Climate Change May Affect Addiction Recovery

University at Buffalo researcher Elizabeth Bowen, PhD, has pioneered an exploration of how climate change may impact individuals recovering from addiction, emphasizing how social, economic, and environmental disruptions could challenge recovery resources, particularly for marginalized groups. Bowen's research, grounded in the theory of "recovery capital," underscores the urgency of addressing climate-related hardships to support the stability and health of those in recovery, and she advocates for expanded support and inclusion in recovery research and services.

‘Use the Force,’ Mickey: Study Suggests That ‘Jedi’ Rodents Remotely Move Matter Using Sound to Enhance Their Sense of Smell

A University at Buffalo researcher proposes that rodents produce ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) not for social communication but to manipulate surrounding particles and enhance their sense of smell. If confirmed, this discovery could reshape our understanding of animal cognition, influence treatments for psychological disorders, and inspire new technologies.
