Michael Rosenblum, MD, PhD

Associate Professor
Laboratory Medicine

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.

Rada Savic, PhD

Professor
Bioengineering

My research uses computational methods to study the dynamic interplay between disease progression, treatment regimen, and drug and biomarker response across relevant scales (molecule, cell, tissue, organ & whole body) to determine causal links underlying variability in (safety and efficacy) clinical outcomes. By integrating multi-scale, and multi-level clinical data, we aim to determine the right dose, schedule, and treatment duration of various therapies, potentially bringing novel, precise and personalized treatment options to patients with unmet need more quickly.

Matthew Spitzer, PhD

Associate Professor
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery

The Spitzer Lab is working to develop our understanding of how the immune system coordinates its responses across the organism with an emphasis on tumor immunology. We combine methods in experimental immunology and cancer biology with computation to understand the modes in which the immune system can respond to tumors and to rationally initiate curative immune responses against cancer.
