The Syracuse VA Medical Center has a well-funded research and development program comprising both bench research and numerous clinical studies. This enables our Medical Center to provide effective state-of-the-art health care to our veteran population. The Syracuse VA has a working relationship with our affiliate, SUNY Upstate Medical University allowing us to develop a strong research program between the two institutions. Our Basic Science program consist of research in the areas of chronic alcohol abuse in learning and memory loss and brain dysfunction, cocaine abuse and dependence associated with severe medical, psychological and social problems, understanding the nature of the brain's representation of visual information and from our understanding of our actual perceptual capacities, how adaptive and apoptotic responses are activated in keratinocytes and epithelial cell lines undergoing hypoxic stress. Our Medical Center is also one of only 7 VA Medical Centers that has a Bio Safety Level (BSL) 3 Laboratory. We have an ongoing program working in the area of INH resistance mutations in mycobacteria. The Syracuse VA Medical Center's Human Studies Program is involved in Hematology, Oncology, Hepatitis C, Substance Abuse, and Schizophrenia studies among others. |
