Kudos to my @UCSFMedicine colleagues: #1 (again) in @NIH grants to Schools of Medicine. Our Dept. of Medicine also remains #1 among DOMs, with >$200M in NIH support. Real tribute to our @ucsf faculty, trainees & staff

Incomprehensible. Insane. Inhuman. And the consequence of the Trump administration decision to not support the ACA’s most basic protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

In a bold experiment in fetal therapy, doctors in San Francisco treated a fetus with a severe, often fatal blood disorder. The child was saved, but the long-term prognosis is still uncertain.
