Electrophysiology Service
UCSF's Cardiac Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Service is known worldwide. We have a reputation for excellence in the evaluation and treatment of patients with a variety of cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). An experienced team of five full time academic electrophysiologists, as well as expert nurses and technicians, are devoted solely to the care of patients with abnormal heart beats. We perform over 400 catheter ablation procedures and 900 total procedures annually; this high volume ensures efficiency and expertise in the treatment of arrhythmias.

Endocrine Research Group
The Endocrine Research Unit at the UCSF-affiliated VA Medical Center was founded in 1977 and has grown into a vibrant, multidisciplinary research center for studies in the broad areas of bone biology, hormone action, dermatological research, and cancer. Faculty and postdoctoral fellows in the Unit are active in the wealth of academic and other enrichment programs available at UCSF. A UCSF-wide Endocrinology and Metabolism Training Program is available to support eligible postdoctoral trainees. Other research support is available through the VA, UCSF, and NCIRE (a VA-affiliated research foundation).

Joanne Engel Lab
My laboratory is interested understanding the complex interplay between microbial pathogens and their host eukaryotic cells, a field that has only recently come into its own recognition and is referred to as cellular microbiology. To that end, we have combined the techniques of eukaryotic cell biology with microbial genetics to investigate the key processes of microbial attachment and entry, intracellular survival, and host cell injury in the context of two important human pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Chlamydia trachomatis. Each of these microorganisms has developed a unique strategy for successful survival that involves subverting and exploiting host cell pathways. Dissecting these processes will allow the development of new diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines and will provide a unique window into eukaryotic cell biology.
