Facts About Buffalo New York
Buffalo is the second most populous city in the State of New York. Located in Western New York on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River, Buffalo is the principal city of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area and the seat of Erie County.

Buffalo is home to three State University of New York (SUNY) institutions. Each is the largest institution of its type in the system. Combined, they account for roughly 40,000 students in the area. These include:

  • University at Buffalo, one of the four University Centers in the SUNY system.
  • Buffalo State College, a comprehensive 4 year college.
  • Erie Community College, a 2 year community college affiliated with SUNY.

Buffalo has increasingly become a center for bioinformatics and human genome research, including work by researchers at the University at Buffalo and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. This consortium is known as the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. It also includes: Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center, Buffalo Medical Group Foundation, Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, Kaleida Health, Olmsted Center for the Visually Impaired, Cleveland BioLabs and Upstate New York Transplant Services. The DNA samples used in The Human Genome Project were also collected from anonymous donors from Buffalo.

Entrepreneurial resources and life science business consultants accelerate the growth and development of emerging companies found within the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and Upstate New York Region. For example, Buffalo BioSciences is a technology commercialization partner to the New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics & Life Sciences and contributed to the launch and early success of Empire Genomics, a firm based on research conducted at Roswell Park Cancer Institute by Dr. Norma Nowak enabling the delivery of personalized medicine.

Situated at the confluence of Lake Erie and the Buffalo and Niagara Rivers, Buffalo is a waterfront city. The city's rise to economic power came through its waterways in the form of transshipment, manufacturing, and an endless source of energy. Buffalo's waterfront remains, though to a lesser degree, a hub of commerce, trade, and industry. These economic entities, however, no longer hold the answer to future, long-term prosperity. This hope of the populace lies in the burgeoning medical and service industries. As of 2009, a significant portion of Buffalo's waterfront is being transformed from its industrial past into a focal point for social and recreational activity. Recently excavated and rewatered is the Erie Canal Commercial Slip, which is the original western terminus of the Erie Canal System. This will soon join an entire revitalization of the original Erie Canal Harbor, with shops, eateries, a massive Bass Pro sporting goods outlet, and high-rise condominiums planned. Buffalo's intent is to stress its relatively unknown yet rich architectural and historical heritage, thereby creating a worthy tourism destination.
