The Translational Pharmacology Research Core (TPRC) was initially implemented as a core within the New York State Center of Excellence in Bionformatics and Life Sciences. The TPRC has grown in scope and now collaborates across decanal units within the University at Buffalo as well as across New York State. The TPRC collaborates with the UB Liver Disease Research Center and the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics and contributes to the UB Communities of Excellence in Global Health Equity and Genomics, Environment and Microbiome. The TPRC also provides the foundation for the Drug Development Core within the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
