University of California San Francisco
Department of Cell and Tissue Biology
The Department of Cell and Tissue Biology (CTB) includes faculty, postdoctoral fellows, as well as graduate students in programs ranging from Biomedical Sciences, Tetrad, and Biophysics to Developmental & Stem Cell Biology and Oral & Craniofacial Sciences.
CTB faculty members are committed to graduate education and postgraduate training, and are actively engaged in ensuring a collaborative and collegial environment.
Research in Cell and Tissue Biology
Faculty in the Department of Cell and Tissue Biology investigate basic molecular, cellular, and tissue processes to achieve fundamental insights, and as a vehicle for understanding and treating disease.
Research in CTB seeks to understand how molecular and biophysical cues control cellular organization and behavior across scales, how cell fate and resulting tissue form and function are established and maintained, and how biochemical, biomechanical, and other modes of cell communication transmit information.
