Berkeley Social Sciences launched a new program recently to better equip students for successful careers by giving them real-world experiences. The Social Sciences Career Readiness Internship Program (SSCRIP) prepares students for a variety of professions by offering skills workshops, personalized coaching, internship placement assistance, and stipends for unpaid and low-paid internships.
I am an immunologist and microbiologist who works on bacterial infection. I received my PhD from UCSF in 2006 under the mentorship of Jeff Cox. My work focused on using genetic approaches to identify virulence factors in the bacterial pathogen M. tuberculosis. I then received postdoctoral training at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, where I explored chemical biological approaches to identifying novel treatments for tuberculosis. I started my lab at Cal in 2012. My research here has focused on understanding protective immunity to Mtb at a mechanistic level using the mouse model...
I earned a B.S. in Physics (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain), PhD in Biophysics (University of Keele, UK - worked at the Synchrotron Radiation Source with Joan Bordas using SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering and cryo-EM to study tubulin assembly). I did my postdoc in biophysics at LBNL (solved the structure of tubulin using electron crystallography working with Ken Downing). In 1998 I joined UC Berkeley's MCB Department as an Assistant Professor and have been here ever since. I have served as Head of the Biophysics graduate program at Berkeley, Head of the MCB Undergraduate...
My lab started at Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 1981. I moved from Boston to Baylor College of Medicine in 1997, and from Houston to Berkeley in 2020 to join Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology. I have been Chair of NST since July 2022. My research is focused on the family of hormone receptors called the nuclear receptors, which includes the steroid receptors and many other with more recently identified functions.

I am an evolutionary biologist broadly interested in the ecology, evolution, and genomics of adaptive radiation in fishes. My lab uses field experiments, natural history, population genomics, behavioral ecology, functional morphology, quantitative and functional genetics, and phylogenetic methods to dissect this process at the mesoevolutionary scale in rapid radiations of three or more species.
