UC Global Health Institute Moves to UC Irvine | San Jose News
from San Jose News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The UC Global Health Institute is relocating from UCSF to UC Irvine’s new Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health, marking a major shift for the 17-year-old powerhouse driving health equity across all ten UC campuses. With roots in 2008 and a track record of pioneering initiatives in global health, gender justice, and planetary health — plus student programs like the GloCal Fellowship — the move signals amplified collaboration and impact. UC Irvine’s dean, Bernadette Boden-Albala, calls it a natural fit, praising the institute’s UC-wide spirit, while Dr. Madhavi Dandu sees the relocation as a catalyst for even greater innovation. The new home, bolstered by a $50M gift, positions Orange County as a hub for public health leadership — all while keeping the mission unchanged: advancing health equity locally and globally.
