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…

As manager of the Biophysics Graduate Program I administer and oversee all aspects of the program including admissions and recruitment, student advising and funding, training grant and budget management, DEI initiatives, program events, curriculum, and the BBC Seminar Series. Additionally, I am…

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…

Our group investigates mechanisms, regulation, and biological functions of methyl group addition to proteins and RNA. Methylation, a common post-transcriptional and post-translational modification, has a profound effect on the regulation of fundamental biological processes such as gene expression,…

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…

As a member of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), I oversee PharmD admissions, coordinate the activities of the Admissions Committee, and manage the annual selection of entering pharmacy students. I am involved in all aspects of recruitment and outreach for the UCSF School of Pharmacy and speak…

The Grabe lab uses computational methods to understand biological phenomena. We are primarily interested in ion and small molecule 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…

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…
