I-9 Reverification Needed by Aug 30 for Some Employees

HR is contacting affected employees as well as their managers with more information and recertification options. Please look out for this communication. If HR does not contact you, no action is needed.


Due to the end of COVID-19 flexibility, UCSF must reverify I-9 documents for approximately 2,200 academic and staff employees hired since late March 2020 by Aug. 30. (Note: This only affects employees who had their I-9 verified virtually.)


Documents that were previously reviewed virtually must now be physically examined by UCSF directly or via authorized representatives. Failure to complete this process by the deadline will result in the employee’s inability to continue working for UCSF. Click here for additional information.

Awards and Publications

Tim Henrich was awarded a K24 for "Mentoring Scientists for Careers in HIV Translational Clinical Research".


Fatoumatta Darboe (Suliman lab) received a Deep Support Collaboration Award in Data Analysis, Integration, and Tool Development, by the Center for AIDS Research. As part of the award, she will be working closely with the ImmunoX data co-lab in collaboration with Al Abdellatif and Gabriela (Gabi) Fragiadakis to establish bioinformatic pipelines to process longitudinal bulk whole blood RNA-sequencing data. The project will analyze longitudinal transcriptional responses before and after HIV infection and early antiretroviral treatment in individuals with and without latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection to define the impact of HIV and treatment on residual TB risk in samples from a rare Peruvian cohort: Modulating the Impact of Critical Events in Early HIV Infection (MERLIN). The project is an ongoing collaboration between the Suliman lab, Peter Hunt and Ann Duerr (Fred Hutch).
