What We Do
We work to build public health solutions that engage with community partners, advance equity, and save lives. We support partners to advance evidence-based public health policies and practices that prioritize the needs of the communities we serve.
Our goal is to make public health equitable, high-quality, community-driven, and accessible for all.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have worked with partners to train and develop a growing public health workforce in San Francisco, California, and beyond.
We leverage multidisciplinary partnerships to strengthen national and subnational surveillance, laboratory, and data systems to more effectively track and respond to infectious disease and emerging health threats.
We work on evidence-to-policy translation: at the global level and national level, by working with departments of health to ensure that policies are prioritized, and programs are resourced based on the best available evidence and local priorities.
We are a group of health researchers, practitioners, and public health professionals from across the UCSF community. We are committed to addressing inequalities in health both locally and globally through pandemic preparedness and response.
