Overview

Dr. Kate Alfieri is the Director of Research Development and Training in the Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care. She is the primary scientific advisor to the Vice Chair for Research and develops, implements, and evaluates initiatives to address faculty and trainee research needs. Before joining UCSF, Kate was the Scientific Program Manager at the Stanford ChEM-H Institute, where she developed and managed interdisciplinary programs aimed to advance research and training at the interface of chemistry, engineering, and medicine.

Kate received her B.S. in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry from Haverford College and her Ph.D. in Chemistry, studying cell signaling at membrane interfaces, in the lab of Dr. Jay T. Groves at UC Berkeley. She is passionate about diversity in STEM, science communication and outreach, and mentorship in science.

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.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
