Give to UCSFResearchers at UCSF have demonstrated how to engineer smart immune cells that are effective against solid tumors, opening the door to treating a variety of cancers that have long been untouchable with immunotherapies.
We asked UCSF infectious disease expert Monica Gandhi, MD, MPH, to unpack some of the big questions around vaccine science, such as how the Johnson & Johnson vaccine differs, how well it works against the new variants, and whether you should be worried about transmitting the virus after vaccination.
This will be one of the first and largest studies to examine the impact of factors like age and stress on vaccination effectiveness.
UCSF scientists have formed a research alliance with pharmaceutical firm Eli Lilly and Company aimed at better understanding autoimmune diseases and fostering the development of new therapies
Millie Hughes-Fulford, a UCSF scientist who flew in June 1991 aboard the first space shuttle mission dedicated to biomedical studies, died on Feb. 2 at the age of 75. S
A new study finds that inherited genetic variation plays a role in who is likely to benefit from checkpoint inhibitors, which release the immune system’s brakes so it can attack cancer.
The new center will provide an integrated platform for basic and clinical research, bringing together vascular biology, immunology, and neuroscience.
