UCSF’s Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI), founded two years ago, is making waves with its unique approach to scientific collaboration, catalyzing discoveries from cancer to psychiatry while supporting female scientists and engaging with the public.

Andrej Sali, PhD, has been elected as a member of the 2018 class of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).

New research promises to take the guesswork out of matching individual cancer cases to the most effective choices of chemotherapy.

A culture of discovery and collaboration among faculty carries potential to “completely shake up their fields of study.”

If DNA is the blueprint for every cell in the body, then proteins are the cell’s construction workers, forklifts, and building materials.
