A Parnassus Heights gateway will be named for UCSF Chancellor Emeritus and Nobel Laureate J. Michael Bishop, MD, whose work changed the future of cancer research.

Read how he shaped the scientists and physicians who became leaders in their own fields.

What happens when a scientific discovery leaves the lab? At UCSF, research has helped launch the biotech industry, build new companies, and create thousands of jobs across sectors. See the broader impact of UCSF science: https://t.co/Mo5w3emaRV

The deadliest adult brain tumor almost always returns, even after surgeons remove every visible trace. An AI approach from UCSF and @UMich can predict where glioblastoma is likely to recur, potentially helping doctors target it before it’s visible on MRI. https://t.co/ylnRG6yxh0

Congratulations to four UCSF faculty named 2026 @NIH New Innovators.
Josiah Gerdts, Mark Pownall, Sakeen Kashem, and Balyn Zaro will each receive $2M+ over five years to pursue high-risk, high-reward research. https://t.co/1npnF6S3Pt

SB 895 has been signed, putting a $7.5B research bond before California voters in 2028. At UCSF, more than 2,700 active clinical trials are helping researchers find new ways to understand and treat disease. See what science makes possible: https://t.co/Mo5w3emIHt

.@CAGovernor Newsom has signed SB 895, the California Science and Health Research Bond Act, into law.

Nearly 17,000 emails to lawmakers helped make California research a statewide priority. Thank you to our @UofCalifornia advocate community.

For decades, KRAS was considered “undruggable.” Scientists were even warned that pursuing it was career suicide. UCSF researchers kept going. Their discovery of a hidden pocket helped launch a new class of cancer drugs. https://t.co/LQ0gxfg9h3

How do you win a Nobel Prize? Start with a chicken. At least, that worked for the late J. Michael Bishop, MD. With Nobel week around the corner, we’re looking back at the UCSF Nobel laureate and the discovery that changed how we understand cancer. https://t.co/pN6VzXbX7P

The dark cloud hiding in your pantry? Ultra-processed food. A new UCSF pilot study found that cutting ultra-processed food by more than 85% was linked to improvements in depression symptoms. One possible explanation may start in your gut. https://t.co/vetnceqlTU

UCSF’s Kevan Shokat, PhD, just won the $1M Stephenson Global Prize for research in pancreatic cancer. He cracked KRAS, a cancer driver long considered “undruggable.” Drugs built on his work now treat lung and pancreatic cancer. https://t.co/5KxIWHMRI6

The University of California's real-world impact is exemplified by the winners of the inaugural UC Regents Innovation Awards. These exceptional UC innovators are curing diseases, tackling climate change, launching new industries and connecting people all over the world ✨ https://t.co/8LosF6acIj

[UC San Francisco @UCSF]

How do you run a clinical trial when it’s hard to hide the real drug from placebo? It’s one of the biggest challenges in psychedelic research. A UCSF team proposed a new approach to help researchers better understand whether these drugs actually work. https://t.co/KTmdg5HoWl

A new year starts now. We welcomed our newest students to the 2026 UCSF Fall Celebration at Mission Bay. Welcome to UCSF! https://t.co/OzjNE83oWl

What if a video game could reveal how your brain weighs risk? UCSF & @UCBerkeley scientists built one, revealing a tug-of-war that plays out in milliseconds and can predict your decision a half second before you make it. https://t.co/vuA3VsXwxD

[UC San Francisco @UCSF]

Congrats to UCSF’s Kevan Shokat, PhD, Joseph DeRisi, PhD, Susan Lynch, PhD, and Stephen Hauser, MD, on winning the first-ever UC Regents Innovation Awards! See how their research is advancing cancer treatment, diagnostics, disease prevention, and MS care.

UCSF research changes lives. Treatments that began in UC labs now help patients in every state. NIH funding makes that possible. Today, advocates are on Capitol Hill for the Rally for Medical Research to keep that hope alive. https://t.co/J1yt6g4qCG

[UCAdvocacy @UCAdvocacy]

Nearly everyone benefits from a discovery that started in a lab. Thursday, at the Rally for Medical Research in Washington, D.C., we’ll be talking about how medical research changes lives. You don’t have to be in D.C. to #SpeakUp4Science: https://t.co/8fHgz6cSHS #FundNIH

For people experiencing homelessness, getting to a physician isn't easy. A UCSF student clinic brings eye care to a San Francisco shelter, offering exams, glasses, and referrals. For many, an eye exam is a first step toward an ID, housing, and a job. https://t.co/Nmf3DJyrMP

Unlimited Bay Area transit is coming to more of the UCSF community. Starting January 2027, Clipper BayPass will expand to all students and employees eligible for core benefits, with unlimited travel on 24 bus, rail, and ferry services across the Bay Area. https://t.co/pkSmP0nxwA
