Dr. Catherine DeVoe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine. She specializes in infectious diseases and provides primary care for patients with HIV, with a focus on immunocompromised patients, such as those undergoing organ transplantation or cancer treatment. Her research addresses diagnosing and managing infections in immunocompromised populations and improving medical education through classroom and clinical teaching. She holds a BA from UC Berkeley, an MD from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, and completed her residency in internal medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and a fellowship in infectious diseases at UCSF.

Her research has contributed to understanding secondary bacterial pneumonia in COVID-19 patients, antibiotic stewardship strategies, and outcomes in hematologic malignancy and transplant recipients. Key areas of contribution include microbial dynamics in pneumonia, pathogen surveillance in stem cell transplant patients, and the role of dexamethasone in mitigating ARDS. Collaborations with groups like the COMET Consortium highlight her work in translational and clinical research.

Dr. DeVoe has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications since 2010, focusing on infectious diseases, immunology, and pharmacology. Her work bridges clinical practice and research, addressing critical gaps in managing infections in vulnerable patient populations. No awards are explicitly listed, though her prolific publication record reflects her academic contributions.
