In perhaps the most comprehensive survey of the inner workings of HIV, an international team of scientists led by researchers at UCSF has mapped every apparent physical interaction the virus makes with components of the human cells it infects — work that may reveal new ways to design future HIV/AIDS drugs.

UCSF scientists Mozziyar Etemadi, an MD/PhD candidate in Bioengineering, and James Fraser, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar in structural biology, are featured in Forbes magazine’s first ever “30 Under 30” list of rising stars in science and innovation. 

From improved heart failure and HIV treatment, to gene therapy and stem cell discoveries, here is just a sampling from 2011 of research advances at UCSF that are keeping the research pipeline flowing toward  better healthcare -- including greater patient safety, more efficient healthcare delivery, and improved outcomes for patients.

Here are a few of the memorable moments that capture the teaching, research, patient care and campus life activities at UCSF in 2011.
