Four UCSF faculty members wer elected this year to the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine.

The University of California, Berkeley and the UCSF have jointly launched a new, one-of-a-kind program in computational precision health, a significant step toward advancing this new field and, ultimately, improving the quality and equity of health care. 

Researchers at UCSF’s Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) have observed how molecular switches regulate many different biological processes simultaneously. Their findings may shed light on how disease mutations operate, offering new ways to target malfunctioning switches and prevent illness.

UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion has been renovated and reopened as the new hub of UCSF’s adult orthopedic surgery services, offering patients expanded access to orthopedic specialty care.

UCSF faculty will soon co-direct a new center to coordinate research from 11 newly funded centers across the U.S. on the root causes of, and ways to eliminate, disparities in multiple chronic diseases.

This year's Nobel in Physiology or Medicine was a double win for UCSF, split between Prof. David Julius and a memorable alum, Ardem Patapoutian, a postdoc in the lab of Louis Reichardt from 1996-2000.

A team of UCSF scientists have identified the specific neurons and signaling pathway that make sexually receptive females of many species more active at the time of ovulation.
