Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is located in the heart of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC), a vibrant and growing hub for biomedical innovation and commercialization near Buffalo’s revitalized downtown. BNMC is the new home of the University at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, as well as hospitals, healthcare and research institutes, and established and emerging biomedical firms. Buffalo’s recent renaissance as a city has benefitted from New York State’s “Buffalo Billion” investment in economic development and redevelopment of downtown and waterfront assets. Buffalo is an affordable family-friendly city, with a heritage as “The City Of Good Neighbors.”
