I lead a computational immunology lab studying states of the human immune system across disease contexts using single-cell methods and data integration. We work with a variety of data types, including bulk- and single-cell sequencing and CyTOF. My research program is built from a foundation of collaborations as Director of the Data Science CoLab. Through CoLabs I have established partnerships to study systems-level immunity in viral infection, cancer, autoimmunity, and steady-state.
Dr. Garber is a Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Adolescent Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She is a nutritionist, with a PhD in Human and Clinical Nutrition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Registered Dietitian (RD) from UCSF. She is the Chief Nutritionist for the UCSF Eating Disorders Program. Her NIH-funded research program focuses on eating disorders, with current studies on nutritional rehabilitation and body composition. In the community, Dr.
The Gardner lab studies fundamental mechanisms of immune tolerance -- how the immune system learns to distinguish self from non-self -- and how this understanding can be applied in the context of autoimmunity, transplantation, maternal-fetal tolerance, and cancer immunology.
I am a physician-scientist with research interests that lie at the intersection of infectious diseases, placental biology, host immune response to infections, and global health. My research program is translational—focused on maternal-fetal immune responses to perinatal infections, including malaria, Zika and COVID-19. Our goal is to understand how inflammatory responses at the maternal-fetal interface influence pregnancy outcomes.
Linda C. Giudice, MD, PhD is Distinguished Professor, Chair Emerita, and the Robert B. Jaffe MD Endowed Professor in the Reproductive Sciences in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She is a biochemist and reproductive endocrinologist specializing in endometriosis and infertility.
Andrew N. Goldberg, MD, MSCE, FACS, is Professor and Vice Chair in the department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Goldberg specializes in surgery for Chronic Sinusitis, Inverted Papilloma, Minimally Invasive Skull Base Surgery, and Snoring and Sleep Apnea Surgery. He received his medical degree from Boston University, and he completed a one-year internship in general surgery at the Los Angeles County-Harbor/UCLA Medical Center. Dr.
Cancer, fundamentally, is a disease of disordered gene expression. Cancer cells rely on deregulated expression of oncogenic and tumor suppressive pathways to initiate and maintain the transformation process. Thus, delineating how cancer cells achieve such pathologic gene expression states is a crucial step towards understanding and ultimately treating cancer as a disease.
The Benioff Center for Microbiome Medicine (BCMM) stands committed to dismantling the structural barriers to education, research and employment endemic in our society, to promoting awareness of implicit bias and reinforcing inclusivity.
