Research
Can the melting of ice sheets and glaciers be slowed? How did dogs get to the Americas? Why are Americans increasingly experiencing chronic pain? How is AI being used to enhance the public good in society?
At UB, we don’t just ask big questions—we chase down the answers. As one of the nation’s top public research universities and a proud member of the AAU (American Association of Universities), research is at the heart of who we are.
