UCSF researchers routinely publish groundbreaking research, write books, and provide context and commentary for scientific and medical news. Our job is to tell their stories, showcase their accomplishments, and highlight the implications and global consequences of their research for our readers.
Now we're turning the tables; in this feature our researchers will be the ones taking questions from you about their work. From your submissions, we will select appropriate and topical questions and comments and publish them along with responses from our faculty experts.
Please note: Depending upon the volume of submissions and their nature, we may not be able to address all questions or comments. Nor can we or the participating faculty member offer specific medical advice. New faculty volunteers will be added to the list over time.
