In his new position, Titus will oversee regulatory support efforts, helping faculty and staff to enable high-quality research and overseeing the University at Buffalo’s Lab Animal Facilities and the Office of Research Compliance.

“As a Flagship University, we must navigate a complex and ever-changing federal and state regulatory landscape,” said Titus. “A key goal is to ensure that UB is compliant with these regulations in a way that allows all researchers to focus on what they do best, which is research. By providing this support, my office can directly impact faculty productivity, which is critical to achieving our vision of becoming a Top 25 research university.”

Titus served as the chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering from 2012 to 2023. During his time as chair, he played a significant role in growing the department to 15 full time faculty members with 30 affiliated faculty. He also led the department through its first accreditation with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2015.

“With his rich expertise in biomedical engineering, Albert brings a unique blend of academic leadership and technical prowess to his new position,” said Yun Wu, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering. “His tenure as the chair of our department for a decade speaks volumes about his dedication and strategic vision. I have no doubt that Albert's passion for innovation and his commitment to fostering collaborative research environments will greatly contribute to the success of UB's regulatory endeavors, propelling us towards greater heights of excellence.”

In 2017, Titus received a SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Service. He is also the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award and was elected a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. In 2010 Titus was named the Western New York Inventor of the Year in the Physical Sciences and in 2011 he had an invention that was a key component in a recipient of the Popular Science Top Ten Inventors Award.

He has received numerous research grants from federal and private sources, served as a reviewer for multiple journals and conferences, has been awarded 10 patents and has authored or co-authored more than 100 journal and conference articles.

Prior to joining UB, Titus was an assistant professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Titus earned his PhD from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1997 and received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UB in 1989 and 1991, respectively.
