Goals of the Molecular Medicine Pathway
- To provide UCSF students with a foundation of course work and an intensive laboratory research experience with a carefully chosen mentor and role model
- To enable UCSF residents to "keep the flame of research interest burning" through participation in elective coursework, seminars and journal clubs, and laboratory research when possible, as they complete their graduate clinical training and apply for fellowships
In the News

Fourth-year medical student Sam Brondfield is different. He has spent his student career exploring disease in every stage. It’s ambitious, but Brondfield — who first was interested in studying the stars — has always seen the bigger picture.
