Biography

Steven G. Deeks, MD, is a Professor of Medicine in Residence at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and a faculty member in the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. He is an internationally recognized expert on HIV pathogenesis and treatment. He is also now leading a large program focused on the pathogenesis and treatment of Long COVID.

Dr. Deeks has published over 650 peer-review articles, editorials and invited reviews on these and related topics. He has been the recipient of several NIH grants and is the contact principal investigator of DARE (the Delaney AIDS Research Enterprise), an NIH-funded international collaboration aimed at developing therapeutic interventions to cure HIV infection. He recently directed the amfAR Institute for HIV Cure Research. In early 2020, he leveraged his HIV research program to construct the “Long-term Impact of Infection with Novel Coronavirus (LIINC)” cohort, which is now supporting dozens of studies addressing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on health.

Dr. Deeks is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI) and Association of American Physicians (AAP). He serves on the scientific advisory board for Science Translational Medicine and is the editor-in-chief of Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS. Based on a recent study conducted at Stanford, he is among the top 0.01% of all scientists, based on citations, adjusted for authorship position and impact, and has been listed by Clarivite as one of the world's most cited scientists for the past several years. In 2022, he received the Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award from UCSF.

In addition to his translational and clinical. investigation, Dr. Deeks maintains a primary care clinic for people living with HIV.
