Akinyemi Oni-Orisan, PharmD, PhD

Associate Professor

My lab conducts computational research investigating therapies for cardiovascular disease using observational data from electronic health records. I also teach pharmacy students in the Discovery Projects research program including leading the Health Disparities Discovery Group and serving as a...

Bani Tamraz, PharmD, PhD

Associate Professor

My primary interest is identification of genetic determinants of drug response through modern methods aimed at addressing pharmacogenomics research and translating that information into new diagnostics and treatment strategies at point-of-care.

Sourav Bandyopadhyay, PhD

Professor

I seek to understand, at the systems level, how biological networks within cancer cells are fundamentally different from those in normal cells. Using a variety of experimental techniques, I design new platforms for the rational application of personalized medicine and the design of combination...

Jaekyu Shin, PharmD, MS

Professor

I teach and precept pharmacy students and work with underserved populations at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. My research focuses on the clinical application of cardiovascular pharmacogenetic tests and pharmacoepidemiology.

Esteban G. Burchard, MD, MPH

Professor

I am a physician-scientist with training in pulmonary medicine, genetics, and epidemiology. My research and academic interests center on identifying disease risk factors specific to racial groups, most especially those related to asthma and drug response. I am engaged in a new, international field...

Sook Wah Yee, PhD

Associate Professor

As a faculty member in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences, I specialize in genetic variations in membrane transporters. By integrating data and knowledge, my work aims to explores the roles of membrane transporters in physiological processes, drug absorption, and elimination...

Rada Savic, PhD

Vice Dean & Professor

I co-lead the School’s plans for developing graduate education programs in the computational and experimental sciences, along with Brian Shoichet, PhD. These programs are geared toward giving the School’s PharmD students greater career opportunities throughout biomedicine.

As a faculty member in...

Deanna Kroetz, PhD

Professor Emeritus

Our lab seeks to understand the molecular basis of interindividual variation in drug response and toxicity. We investigate genetic differences in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and other cancer drug phenotypes and search for new therapeutic approaches targeting ABC transporters.

Kathy Giacomini, PhD, BSPharm

Dean-School of Phrmcy/AssocVC

As dean of the UCSF School of Pharmacy, I set the School’s strategic agenda and ensure it has the resources and organizational structure required to succeed in its mission. I bring my scientific expertise and background in pharmacy in support of our groundbreaking research, individualized patient...
