By UCSF School of Pharmacy Editorial Staff / Tue Oct 26, 2021
Esteban G. Burchard, MD, MPH, was selected by the UCSF Academic Senate to give the 20th Annual Faculty Research Lecture in Clinical Science, an honor recognizing his contributions to asthma research.
Burchard has spent over 20 years investigating genes, environment, and asthma in minority children, generating both primary research findings and rich data sources for fellow researchers to mine in pursuit of addressing disparities in treating the common disease.
He has also leveraged his decades of experience to advocate for more responsible use of genetic ancestry in health care.
The lecture, titled “My Wonderful Journey from the Hood to Academic Medicine,” will take place via Zoom on Tuesday, November 02, 2021, at 3:30 p.m. (Pacific time).
