Bryan Greenhouse, M.D., M.A.

Professor, Department of Medicine, UCSF

Bio

Dr. Bryan Greenhouse’s research is focused on developing new tools to better measure malaria transmission and to determine how some people can be infected with malaria parasites without becoming sick. His team studies malaria in its natural environment, applying novel laboratory and analytical methods to high-quality field studies. Most of his work takes place in malaria-endemic regions, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. His current projects center on understanding the development of naturally acquired immunity, creating novel antibody-based tools to measure malaria exposure and immunologic protection, improving diagnostics, and using parasite genetics and spatial data to understand parasite transmission and evolution. Dr. Greenhouse is dedicated to teaching and mentoring and is coordinating efforts to democratize access to malaria genomics by expanding access to analytics and creating training resources. His group is also committed to building capacity for laboratory genomics and data analysis and is actively collaborating with several partners to advance these efforts. Dr. Greenhouse’s lab is based at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where he co-leads the UCSF EPPIcenter.
