As America turns 250, we're reflecting on how UCSF has been part of that story. For generations, we've found life-saving treatments and helped build industries that create jobs and grow our economy. And we're committed to keeping that work going for future generations.
University of California@UofCalifornia

Congrats to UCSF professor @RoarkeKamber for being named a 2026 Pew-Stewart Scholar! His team is engineering immune “big eater” cells to gobble up tumors. This could lead to better treatments and hope for people fighting breast and lung cancer. @PewTrusts ucsf.edu/news/2026/06/4…

Could one genetic test help more people become kidney donors? New UCSF research found APOL1 testing can identify the 85% of Black kidney donors who don't carry the high-risk gene, helping personalize donor evaluation and potentially expand the donor pool. ucsf.edu/news/2026/06/4…

Science funding powers life-saving work at UCSF. SB 895 would put a $12B research bond on the November ballot — supporting new treatments for diseases like cancer, creating jobs, and fueling California's economy. Public investment is critical for the health of all Californians.
University of California@UofCalifornia

In a powerful @latimes op-ed, legendary actor and Parkinson's disease advocate Michael J. Fox urges Californians to support #SB895, which would help fund research for treatments and cures for diseases like Parkinson’s and cancer. He specifically points to major Parkinson's breakthroughs at @UCSF and @UCSanDiego, made possible by research funding. lat.ms/3RLiibY

Pancreatic cancer has a 13% survival rate. Scientists may have found a way to improve those odds. In a clinical trial, daraxonrasib patients lived nearly twice as long as those receiving chemotherapy. The breakthrough builds on federally funded research at UCSF and @UCLA.
University of California@UofCalifornia

It’s not every day a clinical trial earns a standing ovation, but scientists at @UCSF and @UCLA are heralding a new era in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. A new drug is showing extended overall survival, with patients living twice as long as chemotherapy recipients. bit.ly/43Veyax

About 1 in 50 Americans has a brain aneurysm. Why do some burst, causing stroke, while others don’t? A new UCSF study found an interaction between cells that weakens blood vessels. The discovery could help doctors predict and prevent strokes in the future.ucsf.edu/news/2026/06/4…

Generic drugs saved people trillions. Could biosimilars do the same? Biologics like Ozempic make up 5% of prescriptions but more than half of drug spending. A new study found different approval rules may be slowing access to lower-cost alternatives. ucsf.edu/news/2026/05/4…
