Recent Grants

Here are some recent grants made by The John R. Oishei Foundation toward the goal of supporting and expanding the medical research industry in our community: 

Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus                                                     $275,000

To support "Four Neighborhoods, One Community," an update of the strategic plan for BNMC and surrounding areas. This funding will support an update of the original planning document for the campus and add a team to do both economic planning and neighborhood development plan. For more information about the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, please visit http://www.bnmc.org.

University at Buffalo Foundation                                                          $99,597

To support "Tumor Localization and Targeting with JAA-F11, A Highly Specific Monoclonal Antibody." The increased specificity of JAA-F11 Ab can be utilized not only for localization but also for immunotherapy. Radiolabled Ab would remain in the tumor site and have ample time to work. The research has the potential to have an effect in prolonging the quality and length of life after a cancer diagnosis.
