Department Overview:
The UCSF Department of Urology and UCSF Prostate Program curate one of the most comprehensive integrated data ecosystems in academic medicine, spanning electronic health records, natural-language-processed clinical reports, digital pathology, radiology imaging, biospecimens, and multi-omic data across more than 120 TB of on-premise research storage. The Bio-AI Nexus is the program’s strategic platform for connecting these resources into a coordinated, queryable, and scalable infrastructure that enables translational discovery, precision medicine, and AI model development.
The Nexus team is small, highly skilled, and fast-moving, with deep expertise distributed across clinical analytics, data architecture, biostatistics, and translational research. The Product Manager will serve as a critical integrating force—ensuring that the program’s technical assets are developed to production quality, that faculty and staff are aligned on priorities, and that the platform’s growing capabilities are accessible and well-documented for the broad community of faculty, trainees, and clinical research staff who depend on them.
