Smoke War

If you would like to make a gift in support of Dr. Springer's research, please contact Jessica Philbrook, Associate Director, University Development and Alumni Relations, at (704) 287-2613 or [email protected].

If you would like to make your gift by check, please make it out to the UCSF Foundation and write “Cardiology Research: Springer/B3373” on the memo line. You can send it to UCSF Foundation, Box 45339, San Francisco, CA 94145-0339

You should get a UCSF confirmation immediately, although it may take over a week for Dr. Springer to personally acknowledge your donation because of the time it takes for him to be notified.  If you never hear from him directly, then you will know the system did not notify him; please e-mail him in that case so that you do not go un-thanked!

The main areas of research underway in our laboratory currently include the study of how to improve an experimental heart attack treatment that has been less effective in clinical trials than in earlier mouse studies, and the study of how exposure to tobacco and marijuana smoke (including secondhand smoke) rapidly causes temporary changes in blood vessels that may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. 

Thank you for your generosity!

If you encounter any trouble with this website or have questions, please e-mail Dr. Springer
