A previously unidentifiable type of low-grade inflammation may explain why common anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin have shown promise against some types of cancer – even when patients don’t display typical signs of inflammation.
About 150 of the nation’s foremost thought leaders in academia, child and public health, policy, technology and data science gathered at UCSF to kick-start the conversation about what can be accomplished in precision public health.
New research by UCSF scientists could accelerate – by 10 to 100-fold – the pace of many efforts to profile gene activity, ranging from basic research into how to build new tissues from stem cells to clinical efforts to detect cancer or auto-immune diseases by profiling single cells in a tiny drop of blood.
UCSF announced the establishment of the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI), to drive forward the application of computation, mathematics, and statistics toward a deeper understanding of complex problems in biology.
Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden visited UCSF to meet with top cancer experts as part of the National Cancer Moonshot initiative to develop new approaches that fast-forward the development of novel therapies.
UC Health committed to enabling patients to access and share their own health data, joining more than 40 other organizations that made various commitments to advance precision medicine during a White House summit this week.
UCSF researchers are using big data to find cancer treatments by mapping gene networks and screening existing cancer drugs to test their effectiveness against dozens of different cancer gene variants.
UCSF School of Pharmacy faculty member Adam Abate has been named a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
We asked experts across UCSF to identify what's ahead in how we approach research, what disease areas will see major advances, and where basic science will be translating into real treatments.
