I am a physician-scientist who studies and treats infectious diseases. The goal of my laboratory is to discover and exploit molecular vulnerabilities in bacteria in order to design faster, cheaper, less toxic and more effective therapeutics to treat life-threatening infections.
Dr. Michael Rosenblum is a dermatologist who specializes in caring for patients with inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases.
One of the world's leading skin immunologists, Rosenblum's research has led to a better understanding of how immune responses are regulated in tissues. He also studies how to use this knowledge to develop better treatments for autoimmune disorders.
After completing a doctorate in immunology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Rosenblum earned his medical degree from the same institution. He completed a residency in dermatology at UCSF.
I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and Affiliate Faculty in the UCSF/UC Berkeley Joint Program in Computational Precision Health.
My research is motivated by two key questions I frequently encounter in my clinical practice as an intensive care physician and pulmonologist: 1) Why do patients with same disease have such different responses to the same treatments?; and 2) Why are so many promising preclinical treatments ineffective in large clinical trials?
