Christina leads UB’s Business & Entrepreneur Partnerships, connecting business innovators with the expertise, spaces, equipment and resources to spur innovation, solve challenges, and spark growth.

“We help the innovators, the disruptors, and the big-thinkers find solutions through a strategic, comprehensive partnership that complements their team.”

Christina finds pride in her work through the social and economic impact by helping innovators move from an idea to a product. “For example, we are supporting collaboration among UB researchers, entrepreneurs and industry partners on developing new diagnostics for rare diseases, non-addictive method of treating acute pain, new methods of interactive teaching and new heat reducing light-weight wearable materials, to name a few.  The innovation happening here every day is incredible and we get to help it translate into impactful products and services.”
