Dr. Murray joined the faculty of the Department of Medicine at UCLA in 1957. In 1966, he moved to UCSF where he became Chief of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Division (formerly the Chest Service) at San Francisco General Hospital until 1989; he was also Professor of Medicine and a member of the senior staff of the Cardiovascular Research Institute until 1994, when he retired from the full-time faculty. Since then, he has returned to SFGH each summer to serve as attending physician in the Medical Intensive Care Unit and contribute to divisional activities. The rest of the year he lives in Paris, France, where he works at the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease; he also holds an appointment in a Paris-based INSERM scientific unit where he participates in collaborative clinical-epidemiological research programs concerning tuberculosis and its link with HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. He has recently published a book for lay persons entitled, Intensive Care. A Doctor’s Journal, University of California Press, 2000.
