Executive Assistant 3

Department Overview

The Anatomy Department is a basic science department within the School of Medicine that performs scientific research, training, and teaching. The department includes 15 faculty members with primary full-time appointments, 15 faculty with joint appointments, and about 150 postdoctoral fellows and students engaged in research that covers questions in cell biology, developmental biology, and the neurosciences. Faculty have laboratories at both the Parnassus Heights campus, where there is focus of interest in cancer biology, and at the Mission Bay campus, where many of the neurobiology faculty are located.

The administrative office of the department is located at the Parnassus Heights campus. Anatomy faculty and staff are committed to the building that diverse community that is welcoming and supportive, one that will nurture education and research.

Anatomy faculty and staff are committed to the building that diverse community that is welcoming and supportive, one that will nurture education and research. The Bakar Aging Research Institute is an institute in the Department of Anatomy that brings together scientists and clinicians from all UCSF campuses to address the most critical and intractable questions related to the Science of Aging.

Members draw from the Memory and Aging Center, the Hillblom Center for Biology of Aging, the Division of Geriatrics, which supports the Claude

D. Pepper Center, the Institute for Health and the Aging, Metabolism, and Emotion center, as well as 24+ departments. The Department of Microbiology and Immunology is a basic science department within the School of Medicine that performs scientific research, training, and teaching at Mission Bay and Parnassus Heights. Research in the department focuses on areas related to infectious diseases, immunology, and cancer.

There are 18 full-time faculty members in the department. Our department also provides advanced research training to more than one hundred Postdoctoral Fellows. Graduate students looking towards their Ph.D. degree are enrolled in the Herbert W. Boyer Program in Biological Sciences (PIBS) or the Biomedical Sciences (BMS) graduate programs, depending on the research emphasis. The G.W. Hooper Research Foundation is an organized research unit within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.

We perform scientific research and training at Parnassus Heights. The Bakar ImmunoX Initiative is an ambitious, first-in-class program at UCSF that uses social engineering, state-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure, and a unique data-sharing model to support a large community of researchers and clinicians as they seek to harness immunology to improve human health. By restructuring traditional research, we create opportunities for cross-fertilization of ideas, discoveries, and insights.

The Parker Institute housed within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology includes six centers – UCSF, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Stanford Medicine, UCLA, the University of Pennsylvania and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Parker Institute’s goal is to accelerate the development of breakthrough immune therapies capable of turning cancer into a curable disease by ensuring the coordination and collaboration of the field’s top researchers and quickly translating their findings into patient treatments.
