Among our 15 divisions, the Department of Medicine pushes the frontiers of medical research across clinical, lab, and community-based settings.
We don’t just lead with what research we do, but also with how we do it: maintaining commitments to community, communication, diversity, and health equity with every step. Our faculty lead more than 70 labs at the leading edge of disciplinary study, and our community partnerships build collaborative relationships for research and care in clinics across the Bay Area.
From our research centers in Palo Alto to the rest of California to the world, the Department of Medicine brings new ideas to research every day.
