“Their work has advanced health and improved lives around the world.

This year’s UCSF Medal recipients have made lasting contributions across science, patient care, and public health – from advancing treatments for type 1 diabetes and cancer to expanding lifesaving HIV care worldwide and leading institutions and communities through major public health challenges.

Congratulations to Jeff Bluestone, Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Eric Goosby, and Julie Gerberding on receiving UCSF’s highest honor.”

To which Jeffrey Bluestone, Managing Director at Vie Ventures, added:

“I am honored to be standing next to these outstanding UCSF Medal recipients. To receive the UCSF Medal is an extraordinary honor-deeply meaningful and genuinely humbling. UCSF has given me far more than I could ever hope to give back, and anything I accomplished here was possible only because of the remarkable people who shared this journey with me.”
