Stony Brook University Research Showcased at SUNY Research Expo

Research conducted at 10 State University of New York (SUNY) campuses, including Stony Brook, was showcased at the SUNY Research Expo, featuring research that saves lives, strengthens the economy and improves security in fields including agriculture, environmental, artificial intelligence and medical research.

“SUNY’s campuses throughout the state are conducting groundbreaking research that improves the lives, health and safety of all New Yorkers,” said SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr. at the Expo, held March 17 at the Legislative Office Building in Albany. “The SUNY Research Expo is an opportunity to showcase the incredible work being conducted by our leading academics and students, and the event reinforces our commitment to achieving Governor Kathy Hochul’s goal of doubling research throughout the SUNY system. I applaud all of our researchers for their continued work to position SUNY as a national leader in innovative research.”

“Stony Brook is advancing research and innovation across disciplines to benefit our great state and nation, from developing breakthrough therapies and technologies in biomedical engineering and biotechnology to pioneering new frontiers in quantum information science to exploring how AI can accelerate science and engineering discovery,” said State University of New York at Stony Brook President Andrea Goldsmith. “We are thrilled to participate in the SUNY Research Expo to showcase the bold, creative and impactful work of Stony Brook faculty and students as well as to celebrate the widespread research excellence across the SUNY system.”

Research initiatives highlighted during the SUNY Research Expo included researchers from Stony Brook presenting their research on biomedical engineering and biotechnology.

The SUNY Research Expo showcases SUNY’s commitment to achieving Governor Hochul’s goal of doubling research and innovation throughout the SUNY system. SUNY has undertaken major actions to advance research efforts throughout the system, including:

• In February, SUNY announced the launch of the SUNY Research Connect Portal to showcase the research profiles of nearly 7,000 SUNY researchers from 26 campuses.
• In October 2025, Governor Hochul announced the launch of the SUNY Brain Institute, a multi-campus initiative focused on expanding SUNY’s groundbreaking neuroscience research.
• In September 2025, Governor Hochul established the Quantum Research and Innovation Hub at Stony Brook University, further catapulting New York’s national leadership in groundbreaking research that saves lives, grows the economy and improves national security.
• In July 2025, Stony Brook University — through the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, in partnership with DI3, SBU’s Office of Research and Innovation, and SUNY ORIED — launched the SUNY Research Leadership Academy to advance inclusion in STEMM fields across the SUNY system.

“The SUNY Research Expo is another opportunity to recognize the groundbreaking research in artificial intelligence, medicine, quantum and other subjects that improve lives and power New York State’s economy,” said the SUNY Board of Trustees. “We thank Governor Hochul, and state leaders, for their steadfast support and continued investment in research at SUNY.”
