| Lung
Biology Center- The mission
of the Lung Biology Center (LBC) is to use cell and molecular biology
to study important questions about diseases of the lung and airways.
The Lung Biology Center is a division of the Department of Medicine
at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and is based
at the San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center campus. |
| Acute
Respiratory Distress Syndrome Clinical Network |
| Asthma
Clinical Research Center- The UCSF
Asthma Research Center needs participants for asthma research studies.
Studies are sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and pharmaceutical
companies |
| GALA
Project- To ensure that underserved
communities benefit from the recent advances which have resulted
from the Human Genome project we are studying ethnic specific genetic
risk factors for asthma and asthma severity among Latino and African
American asthmatics |
| - There
is a wide variety of research on tuberculosis based at San Francisco
General Hospital and at the San Francisco Tuberculosis Clinic. Research
on tuberculosis includes both patient-based as well as laboratory-based
investigations. |
| Interstitial Lung Disease Center of Excellence- Investigators
at Moffitt-Long and San Francisco General Hospitals pursue a broad
spectrum of research including analysis of lung tissues and fluids,
clarification of molecular pathways using animal models, and identification
of mechanisms that underlie lung tissue remodeling. |
| Respiratory Epidemiology Group - We are an interdisciplinary group of investigators who study the epidemiology and health outcomes of pulmonary diseases. Our mission is to apply state-of-the-art epidemiologic and biostatistical methods to study health outcomes in a broad array of pulmonary diseases, to identify risk factors for adverse health outcomes among persons with chronic pulmonary diseases, and to translate science into policy aimed at reducing the global burden of respiratory disease |
