Fall 2024 marks the 15^th anniversary of the appointment of Jeffrey Olgin, MD, as chief of the UCSF Division of Cardiology. Under his steady leadership, the division has experienced unprecedented clinical growth, made pioneering discoveries in many areas of heart health, and developed one of the nation’s premiere training programs for future cardiologists. He has also pursued his own vibrant research programs in atrial fibrillation and digital health. 

Growing up, Jeffrey Olgin, MD, found medicine to be an ideal blend of using science to help others. He was especially drawn to cardiac electrophysiology – the study of the heart’s electrical system. “I’ve always found it fascinating,” he said. “It’s a very logical field – it’s physics. And from a clinical standpoint, you can actually cure people with very high rates.”

“I tell people I have one foot in cardiology, another in oncology, a hand in immunology and another in molecular biology,” said cardiologist Amir Munir, MD, a new faculty member who cares for patients and also conducts research in cardio-oncology and immunology. “There’s so much crosstalk among these fields, and I get to be the cross-cut between them. I hear about the exciting molecular and anti-cancer therapy trials, the newest innovations in immunology technology, and the seminal clinical trials in cardiology. Getting a sneak peek into each of these worlds helps me formulate an idea of how I’ll move my science forward.”
