Research in the England Lab is broadly focused on developing and applying chemical probes to investigate the structure and function of signaling proteins implicated in fundamental biological processes and human diseases. Execution of these research projects typically involves a combination of…

As senior epidemiologist, I lead the evaluation efforts for the Medi-Cal Drug Use Review program. I conduct prospective and retrospective analysis of pharmacy and medical claims data within the Medi-Cal population, develop detailed and comprehensive policy impact reviews based on changes in state…

As associate dean of fellowships, I am responsible for coordination of fellowship programs within the School of Pharmacy. The primary duties include: serving as a resource for PharmD students regarding available academic and industry postdoctoral fellowships; serving as primary liaison with the…

The long-term goals of our research are to understand how protein conformational ensembles are reshaped by perturbations, such as mutation and ligand binding, and to quantify how these perturbations impact protein function and organismal fitness. To accomplish these goals, we create new…

I am interested in the development of novel chemical tools that allow us to interrogate biological processes on a molecular level with the ultimate goal of developing novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases.

My laboratory is working to understand how cells self-organize into tissues, how the structure of tissues help regulate cell behaviors, and how tissue structure breaks down in diseases like cancer. By understanding these processes we hope to reveal general principles contributing to cancer…

My research group studies how molecular chaperones maintain protein homeostasis. This question is important because imbalances in protein homeostasis are linked to a number of incurable diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. Molecular chaperones regulate all aspects of a protein’s…

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…

My lab uses computational methods to understand biological phenomena. We are primarily interested in ion transport across cellular membranes. We wish to understand the molecular workings of ion channels and transporters as well as how these proteins work together to regulate ion homeostasis in…

I am interested in protein structure and dynamics related to gene expression. We study changes in protein structure that occur on time scales ranging from millions of years to a millionth of a second, with a focus on basic questions of how viruses cross-species and give rise to modern pandemics or…

I am interested in how genes regulate brain development and behavior and ultimately impact neuropsychiatric disorders.As director of the Center for Collaborative Innovation, I lead efforts to increase collaboration between clinical, translational, and discovery science in teaching and research.

As Chief Pharmacy Officer at UC Davis Health, I have responsibilities for all operational and clinical aspects of our large and dynamic pharmacy services, including the pharmacy residency program, a robust specialty pharmacy network, Cancer Center and Investigation Drug Services, 340B program,…
