UC San Francisco scientists and clinicians are working on many projects to convert data to knowledge, insight and action, one of the areas of innovation identified in the strategic planning effort known as UCSF 2.0.

Many of the ideas to reinvent learning and education specified in the strategic planning initiative known as UCSF 2.0 were discussed during the UCSF School of Medicine retreat.

One of the major themes to emerge in the planning initiative known as UCSF 2.0 is for the University to take the lead to advance the emerging field of precision medicine.

As players from a wide range of industries continue to venture into health and health care, it will be imperative for UCSF to form new partnerships to address familiar health challenges in creative, novel ways.

Harvey V. Fineberg, MD, PhD, MPP, the President of the Institute of Medicine, will come to UCSF for a yearlong appointment as a Presidential Chair beginning in September.
