Center for Bioinformatics & Molecular Biostatics
Led by Dr. Mark Segal with faculty in the department and in other UCSF research groups and affiliates, the Center for Bioinformatics & Molecular Biostatics aims to:
- Provide data, analytic and statistical support to UCSF investigators engaged in molecular biologic, genomic and genetics research projects.
- Devise, implement and disseminate novel statistical methodologies appropriate to such studies.
- Forge links and collaborations with existing and emerging UCSF entities engaged in such endeavors.
- Aid training in the application and interpretation of these data analytic techniques in concert with existing UCSF courses such as those offered under the Program in Quantitative Biology and Biological and Medical Informatics Graduate Program.
The center also offers collaborative support for molecular biologic and genetics projects including assistance with study design, grant preparation and data analysis.
PRISE Center
The UCSF PRISE Center is an implementation science research hub focused on advancing health equity through community partnerships and transformative research. We build strong cross-sectoral partnerships and apply cutting-edge research methods to bring evidence-based interventions into healthcare and community settings. Our work includes:
- Conducting partnered implementation research across a range of content areas including environmental health and climate justice, infectious disease health disparities, mental health, digital health equity and perinatal health.
- Providing high-quality training and career development opportunities.
- Developing and disseminating novel approaches to applying implementation science frameworks and methods.
The PRISE Center is led by faculty with expertise in selecting and applying implementation science frameworks and methods, participatory action research, mixed-methods research, quasi-experimental study designs and program evaluation.
San Francisco Coordinating Center
San Francisco Coordinating Center is a non-profit, academic research organization with more than 20 years of experience in conducting multicenter studies and clinical trials. The Coordinating Center is a collaborative enterprise among researchers from the CPMC Research Institute and the UCSF Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. The Coordinating Center has a large repository of data, biospecimens, radiographic images and genotype data from long-term studies in areas such as aging, breast cancer prevention, cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders, genetics, neonatology and osteoporosis.
