HWI helping build the next generation of scientists.
Dr. Darya Marchany Rivera is shown preparing for the collection of X-ray data at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory.
Research
Accurate identification of metals in proteins.
Many proteins contain metals. Accurate identification of these is a prerequisite to understanding the biological mechanism and curing disease. An international team co-led by Dr. Snell developed a sensitive method to accurately determine both the metal type and position using very small volumes of protein.

Dr. Diana Monteiro is working with an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Buffalo, Germany, and France to develop new tools allowing us and others to understand how life works.
Research
Helping understand drug clearance from the bloodstream and harmful interactions between drugs.
Many drugs are toxic in high concentrations, therefore they are administered in specific doses that ensure drug activity without side-effects or even acute and lethal reactions.

Tour information
HWI is a 73,000 square foot state-of-the-art research facility focused on Structural Biology. It is one of the founding members of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Tours are unavailable during the COVID-19 pandemic but our scientists are working hard to reach a point where we overcome this. We hope to show the public how our research has helped to combat the virus and many diseases that impact us today.
