In an era of extraordinary advances in scientific knowledge and methods, epidemiology and biostatistics provide essential tools for understanding the causes of disease and for identifying effective and efficient approaches to prevention and treatment at the population level. The Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics is committed to advancing health for all through rigorous, innovative, multidisciplinary research.
The UCSF Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics collaborates on more research in basic, clinical and population sciences across UCSF than any other department. We are the largest department of epidemiology in the University of California system in terms of full-time primary faculty and affiliated faculty, and our dedicated researchers, many of whom are leaders in their fields, provide a wide range of expertise to research teams while also leading their own studies.
