ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN BIG DATA AND HEALTH SCIENCES

Where winning partnerships in health sciences and big data start

The University at Buffalo Center for Advanced Technology in Big Data and Health Sciences (UB CAT) is a project cost-sharing grant program funded by Empire State Development's Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR) program, designed to drive the growth of life and health science businesses in New York State.

By partnering with a UB researcher, life and health science companies can gain access to matching funds for collaborative product development and proof-of-concept research and development projects in four main areas.

  • Drug Develoment
  • Diagnostics
  • Medical Devices
  • Healthcare IT
