My research focuses on understanding how nucleotide variation in gene regulatory elements can lead to human disease and other phenotypes.

My clinical practice and research focus on the drug treatment of epilepsy and the genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors that influence drug response.

In my lab, I seek to understand design principles of biological systems and how biological networks rewire during disease progression. I bring to my biology research a blend of experimental science, engineering, and mathematics. Projects in my lab integrate advance technology, experiment, machine…

My work considers the activities of industries implicated in the spread of non-communicable diseases, including tobacco, pharmaceuticals, cannabis, alcohol, and food. Some recent work has identified tobacco cessation strategies for vulnerable populations, sought to understand the scope of tobacco…

My research focuses on the development of drug-like molecules that alter important biological processes. These molecules will help us understand human biology and may lead to the design of new drugs. I also chair the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Details: Administration.

I am a clinical scientist and professor. My primary areas of interest include the pharmacology of drugs for HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis. I direct a laboratory, Drug Research Unit, that supports this research and the research of other UCSF investigators and researchers at other national and…

My clinical work is focused on HIV adherence, ambulatory care services, and health-care delivery systems, particularly within community health centers. As the North Bay experiential program director and AIDS Education and Training Center faculty member, I am also interested in developing…

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…

Dr. Benet, Professor and former Chairman (1978-1998), Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences, Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, received his A.B. (English), B.S. (Pharmacy), M.S. from the University of Michigan and Ph.D. from the University…

My research interests focus on the development of state of the art methodologies in mass spectrometry for use in advancing our global knowledge of human biology, specifically the dynamic, epigenetic modulation and regulation of the proteome.

My lab studies how DNA is translated into life and how genetic mutations can lead to disease using cutting-edge computational and experimental techniques. Recently, I have been excited to apply deep learning and other machine learning approaches to interpret results from massively parallel…
