Mitochondrial dysfunction in vulnerable neurons in the brain can be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain misunderstood.
The UB program offers students a unique opportunity to engage in research and training to combat disease, as well as help develop a pipeline of research leaders focused on therapeutic individualization and optimization of patient care.
Using a new class of drugs developed at UB, researchers aim to prevent anticancer toxins from harming healthy tissue. The work is supported by a $1.8 million grant from the National Cancer Institute.
“In an era of increased medical costs, this type of patient-centered treatment will be integral to decreasing disparities in health outcomes," says Nicholas Smith, PhD, assistant professor and project leader .
