WHAT WE DID
Made possible through a landmark gift by the Weill Family Foundation, the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences leverages UCSF’s bench-to-bedside excellence.
The Joan and Sanford I. Weill Neurosciences Building at the University of California San Francisco unites UCSF’s departments of neurology, psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and neurological surgery to solve the most complex challenges in brain health through research, education, and patient care. The Weill Neurosciences Building is the first center at UCSF to integrate neuroscience research and clinical care. It was designed to fuel connectivity and collaboration and bring together multi-departmental clinics and clinical research centers along with dedicated spaces laboratory science, engineering, and computational research and support. As a cross-disciplinary hub, the building drives advances aimed at new treatments for disorders of the brain and nervous system while providing expert and compassionate care for patients.

I lived in Plzen, Czechoslovakia as a kid for a year while my parents started an English speaking school.
I spent a year abroad in high school.
My favorite architect is Santiago Calatrava.
I was fortunate enough to travel some when I was younger and developed a fascination with some of history’s coolest structures.
I enjoy boating and tinkering on projects at our ‘family’ cabin at Shasta Lake.
I’ve never lived outside of the Bay Area.
