PhD Candidate Davidson Ready to Drive Innovative Change in Health Care
Thu Dec 12, 2024
PhD candidate Jaysón Davidson
Jaysón Davidson, a fifth-year PhD candidate in the Graduate Division’s Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics program, intends to improve health care by using clinical informatics to develop methods that effectively stratify the differences in disease and drug response outcomes between populations with different social determinants.
Guided by University of California Health System Chief Data Scientist Atul Butte,MD, PhD, Davidson said being surrounded by high-level thought leaders has enabled him to become a visionary himself.
“I’m just so grateful to be at UCSF because I am surrounded by leaders in the health care space and in my field that are driving innovative change in health care,” he said. “I see in the future that we’re not only engaging with community leaders but we’re also being able to have scientists from every community. Increasing the diverse representation of scientists that we have will make a major impact.”
