A new collaborative approach has begun revealing, in detail, how a set of around 100 autism spectrum disorder genes may lead to serious developmental problems. The technique involves looking beyond genes and their mutations, to the proteins they code for.
Thirty-two UCSF scientists are among the most influential individuals in their respective fields, according to the most recent analysis of research citations by the science and intellectual property company, Clarivate.
Convergent evolutionary mechanisms shared by COVID-19 variants allow them to overcome both adaptive and innate immune system barriers.
Quantitative Biosciences Institute’s Nevan Krogan reflects back on the COVID-19 pandemic and how internal and external communications, funding and international partnerships all contributed to a speedy COVID-19 response.
A new AI language program developed by Salesforce can learn the language of biology to create artificial proteins.
38 UCSF researchers rank in the top 1 percent for impact in their fields, according to a new analysis of research citations by science and intellectual property company Clarivate.
Nevan Krogan, PhD, director UCSF’s Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) and founder of QBI’s Coronavirus Research Group (QCRG), has been awarded the Legion of Honor, France’s highest honor, in a ceremony in Paris.
Scientists at UCSF QBI and the QBI Coronavirus Research Group (QCRG) have been awarded $67.5 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to support its mission of pandemic preparedness.
Kathy Giacomini, PhD, who trained as a pharmacist and went on to become one of the foremost experts on pharmacogenomics with a focus on drug transporters, has been appointed dean of the UCSF School of Pharmacy.
A new study led by scientists at UCSF's Quantitative Biosciences Institute and University College London found that the Alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2 ramped up production of a protein that it uses to stifle infected cells’ immune-stimulating signals, helping it evade immune detection and accelerate its transmission.
Last month, Hani Goodarzi received a $50,000 award for his work in the early detection of cancer and identification of therapeutic targets in cancer metastasis.
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.
In a new study, an artificial intelligence algorithm exceeded the performance of a widely available commercial system in nearly all examined diagnoses.
Scientists now have shown that the weakening of an astronaut’s immune system during space travel is likely due in part to abnormal activation of immune cells called T regulator cells.
