内容简介：
【简介】 The University of California, San Francisco is one of the leading biomedical research and health science education centers in the world.
Built in 1897 on land originally contributed by Adolph Sutro, former mayor of San Francisco, UC San Francisco includes the 107-acre Parnassus campus that is home to graduate professionals in dentistry, medicine, nursing and pharmacy; a graduate division for predoctoral and postdoctoral scientists; UCSF Medical Center; UCSF Children's Hospital; and Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute.
UCSF, which encompasses several major sites in San Francisco in addition to its Parnassus Heights location above Golden Gate Park, also includes UCSF Mount Zion and maintains partnerships with two affiliated institutions, San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. It is the only UC campus dedicated exclusively to the health sciences. And by virtue of the quality of its faculty, the excellence of its patient care, the scope of its many outreach programs and the many discoveries of its scientists, UCSF — part of the University of California since 1873 — is considered one of the nation's premier health sciences teaching, training and research centers.
With three Nobel laureates in the last 10 years and a long list of pioneering research discoveries -- from the original genetic engineering techniques to the brain-disease culprits called prions -- UCSF is home to 1,300 principal investigators and more than 3,000 ongoing research projects.
