Other Medical Research at SUNY
SUNY is bringing the best prevention, detection and treatment science to bear in the fight against many of today's most pressing health problems.
Diabetes
- Dr. Ruth Weinstock, a professor of Medicine at Upstate Medical University, is investigating how computers can improve diabetes care.
- A patented chip-sized pump developed by Dr. C. J. Zhong, assistant professor of Chemistry at Binghamton University, is small enough to be inserted into the body where it can constantly measure the need for insulin and deliver precise amounts at the appropriate times.
Obesity
- Through his research into how gastric bypass surgery works, Dr. Michael M. Meguid, a professor of Surgery at Upstate Medical University, seeks to develop drugs that will reduce the suffering, frustration, and debilitation caused by obesity.
Osteoporosis
- Dr. Kenneth J. McLeod, professor and chair of the Department of Bioengineering at Binghamton University, is focused on how stimulating the development of Type II A muscle fiber can reverse bone loss and trigger bone growth.
- Dr. Clinton T. Rubin, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook University, is exploring how to inhibit bone loss, promote bony ingrowth into prostheses or skeletal defects, and accelerate fracture healing
Pain Management
- Dr. George B. Stefano, director of the Neuroscience Research Institute at Old Westbury, has found that animal neural tissue can make morphine, a discovery that could replace existing synthetic morphine therapies used to treat pain, addiction and other health issues.
Neurological Disorders
- Dr. Todd C. Sacktor, professor of Physiology and Pharmacology and Neurology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, is exploring methods to identify prevention and treatment drugs for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
