Presentation Transcript

  1. A Research Vision to Meet a Public Mission Supported by: Upstate Medical University University at Buffalo Stony Brook University Downstate Medical Center SUNY College of Optometry SUNY Research Foundation

  2. What is SUNY REACH? Research Excellence in ACademicHealth Goals: 1. Foster cross-SUNY campus collaborations to create the state’s largest public biomedical research enterprise with a strategic research focus that benefits the people of NY 2. Facilitate cross-SUNY collaborations that will lead to National funding

  3. REACH Focus Areas • Cancer • Disorders of the Nervous System • Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease • Infectious Diseases/Emerging Pathogens

  4. Three Phases

  5. Phase 1a Supported: Neuroscience ($270,000), Vision ($150,000), and Clinical and Translational Research ($180,000). The funding was used for meetings and symposia, pilot projects, web sites, videoconferencing equipment and administrative and IT support to jumpstart nascent collaborations.

  6. Neuroscience The Neuroscience focus areas supported by Phase 1 include: The SUNY Institute on the Neuroscience of Substance Abuse (SINSA), which was formed to study addiction, mental illness and other disorders that can result from the abuse of alcohol and other addictive substances. Neurodegenerative Diseases and Stem Cell Therapeutics, to focus on the causes and treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Receptors and Brain Disease, to focus on acute brain injuries characterized by altered receptor function, such as stroke, epilepsy, ischemic and traumatic brain injury.

  7. Vision The Vision Research group created the SUNY Eye Institute, which is establishing research and training programs in the major blinding diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, myopia and amblyopia. An example of the impact of SUNY REACH Phase 1 is that the SUNY Eye Institute has submitted a National Eye Institute Research Center grant application with investigators from all five participating SUNY REACH institutions.

  8. Clinical and Translational Research Establishing the foundation for multi-institution clinical and translational research projects by addressing gaps and meshing best practices, attracting new industry-sponsored trials and increasing the number of trials across institutions.

  9. Clinical and Translational Research • SUNY REACH Website launched, maintained by Semantic Web Architechture Group (SWAG) based at SBU.http://reach.suny.edu/ • VIVO database provides backbone to REACH website SWAG is a leading developer of open-source programming to refine VIVO, and SBU staff were featured presenters at the international VIVO Conference 2012. http://vivoweb.org • IRBNetDMC is now live, joining SBU, UMU and SUNY Optometry

  11. SUNY REACH Phase 1 includes A & B (funded $1.1 M) & C

  12. Phase 2: Include New Partners Founding SUNY Partners: • Buffalo • Downstate • Optometry • Stony Brook • Upstate PHASE 2 could include researchers from: • SUNY Albany • SUNY Binghamton • SUNY ESF
