Overview
Dr. Velásquez is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases, and Global Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. He is an infectious disease physician and clinical researcher focused on the development of treatment regimens for drug-susceptible and drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), with a special interest in the safety and tolerability of TB treatment. He works with the endTB consortium (www.endTB.org) and serves as a co-investigator in two multi-country Phase 3 randomized controlled clinical trials evaluating novel shortened oral regimens for multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), specifically fluoroquinolone-susceptible MDR-TB (endTB, NCT02754765) and fluoroquinolone-resistant MDR-TB (endTB-Q, NCT03896685), and in the trials’ pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) sub-study (PandrTB, NCT03827811). He is supported by an NIH/NIAID Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08 AI141740) which leverages his role in the trials above to examine the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of new and repurposed drugs for MDR-TB. Dr. Velásquez serves as an Investigator in the AIDS Clinical Trials Group’s TB Transformative Science Group. He attends on the inpatient ID service and outpatient HIV and TB clinics at San Francisco General Hospital.

Altmetrics Details
PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media.
(Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.)
Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication.
Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.)
