'Need brains!': WNY students get stuck into medical science

A group of western New York high school students toured the Gates Vascular Institute in Buffalo to learn about medical science. “They’re putting a tube up the vein to get rid of leakage in the brain. It looks cool,” said Nicholas Altemoos, a 9th grader at Bennett High School. Twenty freshman and sophomore students watched a recorded medical procedure on the human eye during their tour of Gates Vascular Institute, University at Buffalo’s Clinical and Translational Research Center and the Jacob’s Institute.
