A Message From the Director In 2012, we gathered together the extensive resources at URMC into a shared enterprise, forming what would come to be known as the Center for Advanced Research Technologies. By combining our energy and expertise, we created a powerful proposition: to lead a dramatic increase in research funding and to increase partnerships within the industry with the goal of developing the next generation of technologies. We welcome principle investigators from within the University and from across the nation, from educational institutions, and from the private sector. Our goal is to partner with you to enhance your research, driving your findings forward. Tim Bushnell, Ph.D. Director, CART
