²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ Health Care

²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ Medicine delivers unparalleled care for each patient’s unique needs. Our multidisciplinary approach to health care coordinates expertise with the most advanced technology for the best possible outcomes.

²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ Children’s Health

²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ Children’s Health is the only health care network in the Bay Area – and one of the few in the country – exclusively dedicated to pediatric and obstetric care.

Research

We are drawn to the difficult problems, the ones for which prevailing science does not yet have a framework to understand.

Drawing inspiration from our gut protection mechanisms, ²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ researchers have engineered a new type of sensor to monitor substances over long stretches – measuring reactions for up to a week after being implanted in living rats.

²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ researchers have developed a technology that delivers RNA to damaged neurons and stimulates regrowth – paving the way for potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and spinal muscular atrophy.

Knight Initiative researchers have discovered a biomarker in spinal fluid that could help forecast the progression of Alzheimer’s and improve clinical trials.

Education

Our strength in interdisciplinary scholarship, our dedicated faculty, and a culture of innovation set the training ground for the next generation of biomedical leaders and pioneers.

²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ School of Medicine

With easy access to world-class faculty and coursework in medical science as well as engineering, computer science, ²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ, business, and the humanities, aspiring physicians and scientists can experiment across disciplines and customize their ²ÝÁñÉçÇøÊÓÆµ to match their interests.
