The Campaign for UB
FOR THE FUTURE OF
RESEARCH & CURES
The prospect of finding cures for diseases and solving other pressing societal issues is what fuels UB researchers.
As a major public research university, we are making transportation safter, helping defeat climate change, planning livable cities and improving everyday life for millions around the world.
Curious
Discoveries that lead to making lives better happen every day at UB. Can dietary interventions improve cancer treatment? Where will the lava flow in the next volcanic eruption, and how can lives be saved? What can uncovered artifacts tell us about the Etruscan identity that survived the Roman conquest? How can studying UB’s honeybee hives help populations thrive and continue to be successful pollinators? How can our earthquake research increase disaster resiliency around the world?
Questing for a cure
Margie McGlynn, MBA '93 and BS '82, president of the Homocystinuria Network America, has endowed a professorship in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences to find holistic solutions for rare genetic diseases like the one that took the lives of two of her sisters in childhood.
