Shoshana Zha, MD, PhD

HS Asst Clinical Professor

Medicine

Dr. Zha is a Pulmonary and Critical Care physician scientist. She specializes in the care of patients with bronchiectasis and nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infections. She cofounded the Bronchiectasis and Pulmonary NTM Clinic at UCSF and attends in the Parnassus intensive care units. In addition, Dr. Zha conducts basic science research that focuses on understanding the innate immune response to mycobacterial infections.

Publications:
