Innovating Precision Pulmonary Science at UCSF

Last updated: March 2026

The Woodruff Laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco is dedicated to advancing precision medicine for pulmonary diseases through cutting-edge translational research. Our multidisciplinary team investigates inflammation, airway remodeling, and disease subtypes to develop more effective, personalized treatments for conditions like asthma, COPD, and sarcoidosis.

  • We identify distinct molecular sub-phenotypes of lung diseases to help tailor therapies.

  • We unravel mechanisms of airway inflammation and remodeling.

  • We lead and support clinical trials of novel therapeutic approaches.
