Gerald Hsu

Gerald Hsu, MD PhD is a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), affiliated with the School of Medicine and Department of Medicine. He practices Hematology/Oncology at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and serves as the Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program Director, actively contributing to medical education for Medicine Residents.

• University of Toronto: Hons. BSc in Physiology (1997)
• Duke University School of Medicine: MD and PhD in Biochemistry (2005)
• Brigham & Women's Hospital: Intern (2006), Resident (2008), Chief Resident (2012)
• University of California, San Francisco: Fellow in Medical Oncology (2011)

His research focuses on DNA repair mechanisms, proteomics, and apoptosis, particularly in the context of chemotherapy-induced cell death and DNA polymerase fidelity. His work bridges structural biology and clinical oncology, with a strong emphasis on understanding molecular pathways and their therapeutic implications.

The articles highlight his contributions to proteomics (e.g., discovery of proteolytic signatures in chemotherapy, development of the DegraBase database) and DNA damage studies (e.g., error-prone replication by high-fidelity polymerases). These works span biochemical mechanisms, oncological applications, and systems biology approaches.
