The mission of Research Day is:
- To promote research by fellows and faculty within the
Department of Pediatrics
- To provide opportunities for collaboration and mentorship
- To facilitate communication among fellowship, faculty, and collaborative institutions
reflects the important contributions made by fellows and faculty in clinical and laboratory science in pediatrics. The guest lectureship, the plenary talks by new faculty and the poster and short oral presentations by current fellows are representative of the UCSF Department of Pediatrics’ commitment to excellence in research, education and the clinical care of infants, children and young adults.

Anthony Wynshaw-Boris, MD, PhD
Chief, Division of Human Genetics
Dept. of Pediatrics
University of California, San Francisco
Dr. Anthony Wynshaw-Boris has been a leader in the use of mouse models of human genetic diseases. His laboratory was the first to produce several models, including models of ataxia-telangiectasia, the human neuronal migration defects lissencephaly/Miller-Dieker syndrome and double cortex syndrome, complex congenital cardiac diseases and neural tube defects due to the loss of Dishevelled genes, as well as deletions responsible for DiGeorge syndrome. As a few examples, his laboratory has uncovered important and unexpected roles for Dishevelled-1 in mammalian social behavior, the first mammalian mutant that displayed such behaviors and a model for human neuropsychiatric diseases such as autism and schizophrenia. His laboratory has provided insights into the genes and pathways responsible for human neuronal migration defects via mouse models, and has defined the pathways through which these human disease genes act.
