UCSF Division of Experimental Medicine

The Division of Experimental Medicine was founded in 2006 to research globally important infectious diseases including HIV, TB, Malaria, and COVID-19.

It ain’t official until it’s Twitter official! Thrilled to share that I’ve started my lab at the Benioff Center for Microbiome Medicine @ucsfmicrobiome and the Division of Experimental Medicine @UCSF_EXPM at @UCSF this week!

Standing together at #SFPride! Thank you to @UCSFLGBT for bringing our community together and honoring the legacy of those who have fought for equality. Together, we stand strong and are #UCSFProud! @ZSFGCare

Thanks @ImmunologyAAI for the Travel award for my first #AAI2024.

Placing a great friend and ally @SaraSuliman13 as the chair of my session was another award!

[Ryan Hernandez @rdhernand]

So excited to share this paper with everyone! This described our @UCSF_PROPEL program, which began in 2020 with just a few scholars, but has already grown to nearly 200 cumulative scholars over the last few years! Let's gooooo!!!!

[UCSF PROPEL @UCSF_PROPEL]

We are delighted to share our manuscript on our @UCSF_PROPEL program! We have accomplished so much over the last few years, and are evermore excited for new innovations and expansions of this model for equitable access to post-baccalaureate research! https://t.co/geHk9oXBUh

More coverage of nice work presented at #CROI2024 by @DemiSandel in our lab, where we and our larger team including @MichaelPelusoMD are identifying mechanisms of post-intervention control of HIV after combination immunotherapy. @DAREtoCureHIV @UCSF_EXPM

[Rachel Rutishauser (moving to bsky: rrutishauser) @r_rutishauser]

Thrilled that Rafa - a fantastic postdoc in our lab who truly loves #TCRs (I mean, who doesn’t?) - had the opportunity to present his findings at #AAI2024! @orafatiburcio @DAREtoCureHIV @UCSF_EXPM

@LisaAMcCorkell @SenSanders @LCMoonshot This is a big deal! Grateful to @LisaAMcCorkell @SenSanders @LCMoonshot.

It was tumultuous to get here, but it's been a fantastic day 1 @KeystoneSymp on Tuberculosis. Great to see missed friends including my PhD mentor @alleslie1. Finally got to see many friends from virtual to 3-D.

Thanks @NatureMedicine for highlighting our News&Views piece on identifying Mtb antigens for TB vaccines on this #WorldTBDay

[Paul Ogongo @JaTcells]

We realize it is important that the person across the street understands the science we do without the jargon that we effortlessly use when with colleagues. @UCSF_CTB celebrations of the World TB day symposium, we break it down, to accessible language. @SaraSuliman13 @SKHuddart

[Journal of Experimental Medicine @JExpMed]

“Yes! We can #endTB!” In recognition of #WorldTBDay today, read our People & Ideas interview of @SaraSuliman13. Her lab @UCSF_EXPM uses multiple approaches to identify candidate #tuberculosis risk pathways and to determine their role in #TB progression ➡️ https://t.co/nRTkbK2IUj

[Michael Peluso, MD @MichaelPelusoMD]

Great coverage of our @UCSF #hivcure work presented at CROI.
