New York's Leading Public Research Universities on the Forefront of Education and Innovation

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.

Preclinical study reveals that immune cells in the brain could be possible new drug targets for ASD and intellectual disability
To combat “hypermutated” strains of deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has awarded the University at Buffalo a $4 million grant to study the underlying mechanisms by which rapidly acquired mutations interfere with antimicrobial therapies and develop new treatment strategies to combat these deadly infections.
Four Stony Brook University departments received GAANN awards to further graduate student research, assisting underrepresented biomedical engineering students.
In the prelude to cancer, genetic mutations can sometimes lead to the formation of chimeric proteins made from parts of two different proteins that are usually separate, according to University at Buffalo researchers.
A Stony Brook University study reveals that the responders who have suffered from chronic conditions from WTC exposures and the experience of the 911 tragedy appear to have more infection severity than responders who do not have chronic diseases resulting from WTC exposures.
