A new digital tool helps to calculate breast cancer risk for those who may develop advanced cancer that goes undiagnosed despite regular screenings.
A sexual health strategy called Doxy-PEP, which involves taking doxycycline after condomless sex, is highly effective in reducing bacterial STIs but is still associated with a limited rise in resistant strains of bacteria.
UCSF’s Heart and Vascular Center participation in a new Cardiogenic Shock Registry aims to improve treatment for cardiogenic shock types.
Respiratory viral infections pose significant morbidity and mortality to patients with chronic lung diseases like emphysema and COPD, causing exacerbations that drive destruction of normal lung tissue
UCSF researchers found that distributing pro-COVID-19 vaccine information in EDs in English and Spanish increased vaccine acceptance, especially among Latinos and those without primary care physicians.

The WISDOM 2.0 study aims to transform breast cancer screening by using a personalized approach and will expand to women as young as 30.
When we inhale an airborne virus, our lung cells take on the role of immune system first responders. Catera Wilder, PhD, studies the molecular details of this response and how it can go awry, causing the body to damage its own tissue and cells.
Angela Phillips, PhD, leads research that could help predict future viruses like COVID and the antibodies we might use to treat them.
Emily Goldberg's lab studies what happens during aging to a particular set of immune cells: those embedded in fat tissue. She hypothesizes that changes to these cells during aging could be key to age-related inflammation.
