Career
Burchard is a distinguished professor in the Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine at UCSF, after beginning his career there in 2001.[1][2]
Burchard studies gene-environment interactions in asthma, especially in children, and health disparities in the US.[2][3][4] As part of this work, he founded and directs the largest study of asthma in minority children in the United States, called the Asthma Translational Genomics Collaborative.[5][6] This study involves whole genome sequencing of more than 15,000 people.[6] He is involved in the All of Us Initiative at the US National Institutes of Health.[2][7] He uses his personal experience as a Mexican-American scientist to enhance his research.[3]
