We specialize in immunology, specifically studying innate immune mechanisms and inflammation in critical illness. Collaborating closely with the Hellman Laboratory within UCSF's Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care, we explore the intersection of sterile and infectious inflammation in patients facing severe trauma, hemorrhage, and complex hospital stays. As a young and expanding lab, we find San Francisco and the broader Bay Area to be exceptional places to live and work, enriched by UCSF's unparalleled scientific community.
