Steven Mack, PhD

Dr. Mack's laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular, genetic, functional and evolutionary basis of the immune system, and in particular the highly polymorphic Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes and Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR) genes. His laboratory develops methods, tools, systems, services and protocols that facilitate clinical and research goals for bone-marrow and stem-cell transplantation therapies, understanding immune-related disease-association, and human health.

In addition. Dr. Mack serves UCSF's ARCHES Program, an initiative focused on supporting and advancing the career development of research faculty, as a Co-Lead on the development of community and scientific networks.
