University of California San Francisco

Overview

University of California San Francisco, or UCSF, is the biomedical-research institution named in Huberman Lab source notes as the academic context for Max Krummel and Elissa Epel.

Current Profile

The current wiki evidence uses UCSF as institutional context for two Huberman Lab biomedical guests. Max Krummel anchors the immunology and cancer-biology branch, while Elissa Epel anchors the stress, aging, metabolism, emotion, and resilience branch.

The page still stays narrow. It records UCSF only where the source notes use the institution to locate researcher expertise; it is not a general institutional history or ranking profile.

Key Characteristics

• Appears as the academic institution connected to Max Krummel and Elissa Epel.
• Grounds immunology, cancer-biology, stress, aging, metabolism, emotion, and resilience discussions in a biomedical-research context.
• Functions as institutional context rather than as an independently profiled actor.
• Is represented by Huberman Lab source notes, not a broad UCSF history.

Evidence

• Immunology and cancer-biology affiliation - How Your Immune System Works & How to Improve It | Dr. Max Krummel introduces Krummel as a UCSF professor and uses that expertise to discuss cancer immunotherapy, T cells, vaccines, and immune aging.
• Stress and aging affiliation - Control Stress for Healthy Eating, Metabolism & Aging | Dr. Elissa Epel introduces Epel as a UCSF professor whose lab studies stress, aging, metabolism, and emotions.
• Biomedical-research context - How Your Immune System Works & How to Improve It | Dr. Max Krummel and Control Stress for Healthy Eating, Metabolism & Aging | Dr. Elissa Epel both use UCSF as institutional grounding for mechanism-heavy health discussions.
• Source boundary - How Your Immune System Works & How to Improve It | Dr. Max Krummel and Control Stress for Healthy Eating, Metabolism & Aging | Dr. Elissa Epel do not provide a wider UCSF institutional profile.

Qualifications

This page is intentionally thin. It should not be used as a general UCSF institutional summary until additional sources discuss the university directly.

What Changed

• Broadened the page from Krummel-only institutional context to include Epel’s stress, aging, metabolism, and emotion research context.

Relationships

• Max Krummel - UCSF-affiliated immunologist and cancer biologist in the source.
• Elissa Epel - UCSF-affiliated stress, aging, metabolism, and emotion researcher in the source.
• Huberman Lab - podcast where the institution is named.
• Immune System As Tunable Sensor Network - biomedical topic grounded through Krummel’s UCSF context.
• Stress Response Recovery - stress-regulation topic grounded through Epel’s UCSF context.
• Stress Biological Aging - stress and aging-biology topic grounded through Epel’s UCSF context.
