The JI's mission is to accelerate the development of next-generation technologies in vascular medicine through collisions of physicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and industry. As such, we are located on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus in downtown Buffalo, strategically situated between University at Buffalo's Clinical and Translational Research Center and Kaleida Health's Gates Vascular Institute hospital.
The Jacobs Institute is uniquely positioned to inspire collaboration among our partners and the medical device industry. At the institute we:
-Advance physician, engineer, and industry sales staff training through clinical education programs incorporating physician expertise
-Provide a behind-the-scenes understanding of how medical devices are used by physicians and how device safety and efficacy can be improved
-Develop the next generation of medical technology in global vascular devices in our i2R, or Idea to Reality Center
Our vision is to improve the treatment of vascular disease in Western New York and the world, while fostering local economic development, and honoring the memory of Lawrence D. Jacobs, MD.
