UCSF is a top institution for clinical trials. Here are UCSF’s departments, sorted by the number of open clinical trials from principal investigators who have a primary association to that department. (This list is based on open trials listed in UCSF’s new Clinical Trials website, in cases where trials are associated with one or more principal investigators’ UCSF Profiles pages. If a trial’s PIs span multiple departments, the trial will be counted once for each department.)
