A traditional African psychedelic plant medicine called ibogaine is the blueprint for two new drug candidates that could treat addiction and depression. […]
Henry Bourne, MD, a long-time UCSF researcher who chronicled its rise to prominence in the 1970s, has died at the age of 83. […]
In a first, UCSF scientists created a molecular-level, 3D picture of how an odor molecule activates a human odorant receptor. […]
Vissers’ work on RNA tags helped found the field of epitranscriptomics, the study of how chemical marks on RNA, rather than their sequence alone, dictate the function of the molecules. […]
Angela Phillips, PhD, leads research that could help predict future viruses like COVID and the antibodies we might use to treat them. […]
Because proteins can adapt to extremes, Margaux Pinney, PhD, believes they can show how living organisms might adapt to climate change. […]
Faranak Fattahi’s lab is a national leader in growing stem cells to model peripheral nerves, focusing on gastrointestinal diseases. […]
Emily Goldberg’s lab studies what happens during aging to a particular set of immune cells: those embedded in fat tissue. She hypothesizes that changes to these cells during aging could be key to age-related inflammation. […]
Leanne Jones, PhD, is at the forefront of studying how stem cells are influenced by their surrounding environment and directed to differentiate into one type of cell or another – research that’s critical for stem cell therapies to be successful. […]
