Elizabeth Joyce, PhD

Associate Adjunct Professor

I am an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and the Director of the Microbiology Teaching Laboratory in the School of Medicine. I also have a joint appointment in the Department of Cell and Tissue Biology in the School of Dentistry. Prior to arriving at UCSF, I was a Research Associate in bacterial pathogenesis at Stanford University, Visiting Professor at Swarthmore College, and Program Director of Sciences and Technology and Instructor at Berkeley Extension. I currently teach courses in the microbiology and immunology in the Schools of Medicine and and Pharmacy and co-direct and teach in four courses in the biomedical sciences stream in the School of Dentistry.

I am passionate about teaching microbiology and immunology, and am excited by the opportunity to work with aspiring healthcare professionals. Microbiology is a field where biochemistry, genetics, immunology, and cell biology intersect, so there are clear connections to information that students have learned about and are interested in, which will facilitate learning microbiology. I am interested in helping students make connections between “information” and application of knowledge and like to find ways to actively engage them in this process. To this end, I have developed interactive iBook Microbiology Lab Manuals tailored to our Medical and Dental School courses, several short instructional videos that serve as companion resources to laboratory and didactic sessions, and team based learning activities to facilitate integration and application of lecture material. My goal with all these learning resources is to provide a compelling framework for learners to anchor the clinical microbiology content and connect it with their burgeoning clinical knowledge.
