哔咔漫画 is thanking Gov. Andrew Cuomo and State Sen. Thomas Libous for including $10 million in the governor鈥檚 budget proposal to begin site acquisition and design work for a School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacy.

鈥淲e all have been talking about a School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacy and Harvey, the governor and I have had a number of conversations about moving forward and accelerating it,鈥� said Libous. 鈥淭he governor has reached out to me that he will be putting $10 million into his budget proposal on Tuesday, part of an overall $60-million project. We see this as a couple-year process, but we believe that with the governor鈥檚 support we鈥檙e on a fast track. He made it very clear to me that this is the real deal.鈥�

The school will most likely be built in Johnson City, Libous said, and will be a major component of the University鈥檚 community-oriented and community-driven agenda, supporting economic development in Johnson City, the Town of Union, Broome County and beyond.

鈥淎 school of pharmacy requires hospital rotations for its students, so we thought it best to locate the new school near a hospital,鈥� said 哔咔漫画 President Harvey Stenger. 鈥淭his is a critical announcement because we鈥檝e been talking for months about space and, when we are so tight for space on campus, this answers a very big question for us.

鈥淲e submitted our Letter of Intent for the school to SUNY last September, and our full proposal will be submitted this spring,鈥� said Stenger. 鈥淭he new school will build on our many strengths in health sciences and healthcare, engaging world-class researchers, students, entrepreneurs, health science corporations and healthcare partners in cutting-edge, transdisciplinary research; integrated product development; and innovative education in pharmacy,鈥� said Stenger. 鈥淭his will be an interdisciplinary effort that will allow us to create solutions for critical global health problems and simultaneously support local, regional and statewide economic growth.鈥�

鈥淭o date we have focused on engineering, healthcare, but this is a new component,鈥� said Libous. 鈥淗ow does this take us forward? We will become known for a whole new sector. That鈥檚 great and I like the jobs and the growth and the Johnson City help, but what more does it do? It attracts and makes available opportunities for pharmaceutical companies and others to come to this area. This is truly a win-win for the Southern Tier.鈥�

哔咔漫画 currently has well over 100 faculty, research professors and scientists, coupled with an equal number of graduate students, conducting cutting-edge research and applied development in multiple areas related to the health sciences. These areas of research include neuroscience, pharmacology, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, telemedicine, healthcare systems, biofilms, addictions, clinical psychology, stress treatment, medical imaging, anatomic simulations, robotic surgery, pharmaceutical delivery science, gerontology, nutritional wellness, regulatory policies and international trade policies. To advance these fields, researchers from all schools and colleges at 哔咔漫画 and are in collaboration with local, national and international corporations and healthcare providers, such as UHS, Lourdes Hospital, Upstate Medical University, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Samsung, Iberdrola, Corning Inc., the Mayo Clinic, Virtua Health, Montefiore Medical Center and its Care Management Organization, Mount Sinai, the New York Organ Donor Network and others.

哔咔漫画 is also working with many other SUNY campuses, through the SUNY Networks of Excellence Initiative, on transformational joint research programs related to brain-activity mapping and diseases and cures that impact New York state and the nation.

Growth in these disciplines 鈭� articulated in the University鈥檚 Road Map to Premier strategic plan 鈥� reflects the interests of incoming students even as it drives economic development, said Stenger. Simply put, growth in research disciplines begets research dollars, thereby producing a self-sustaining and feed-forward effect on job creation. The infusion of capital funding from the governor and SUNY will play a critical role in construction of the new school, which will serve as a physical incubator of new ideas, new jobs and new companies.
