Max Krummel, PhD

Professor
Pathology

Matthew Krummel, PhD uses in situ imaging of proximal molecular events in the thymus to determine how signaling proceeds in the context of tissues and organs.

Diana Laird, PhD

Professor
Ob/Gyn, Reproductive Sciences

Diana Laird, PhD studies the development and regulation of primordial germ cells, stem cells in the embryo that give rise to eggs or sperm.

Randall Lee, MD

Professor
Medicine

Randall Lee, MD, PhD is an adult electrophysiologist interested in tissue engineering approaches to target stem cell therapies in the heart, including the use of antibodies and biopolymers.

Jingjing Li, PhD

Associate Professor
Neurology

Jingjing Li, PhD researches large-scale analysis of disease genomes by integrating multi-omics data, evolutionary insights, electronic health records, as well as digitized clinical traits from imaging and wearable sensor readouts.

Daniel Lim, MD, PhD

Professor

Daniel Lim, MD, PhD studies the role of chromatin remodeling factors in the regulation of neural stem cell fate. By defining the genetic programs and molecular mechanisms of neurogenesis, he hopes to develop therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and injury.

Bernard Lo, MD

Professor Emeritus
Medicine

Bernard Lo, MD is Professor of Medicine Emeritus and Director of the Program in Medical Ethics Emeritus at UCSF. He studies the establishment of guidelines for human research using genetic testing and stem cells.

Jeffrey Lotz, PhD

Professor
Orthopaedic Surgery

Jeffrey Lotz, PhD studies the use of stem cells, growth factors and synthetic matrices for tissue engineered regeneration and healing of vertebral discs. His focus is on defining the biomechanical and inflammatory factors that cause back pain and on cell culture and animal models of disc degeneration.

Clifford Lowell, MD, PhD

Professor
Laboratory Medicine

Clifford Lowell, MD, PhD studies the role of Src family kinases and the Syk tyrosine kinase in signal transduction pathways within hematopoietic cells.

Tom Lue, MD

Professor
Urology

Tom Lue, MD studies adipose tissue derived stem cells and progenitor cells.

Tippi MacKenzie, MD

Director
Broad Stem Cell Center

UCSF Broad Stem Cell Center Director, Tippi MacKenzie, MD, is focused on developing safe and effective stem cell transplantation and other therapies for fetuses with congenital anomalies. In utero stem cell transplantation could treat diseases in which stem cells are missing or mutated, such as immunodeficiencies, inborn errors of metabolism, or muscular dystrophy.
