The University of California, San Francisco, announced Friday a $5 billion fund-raising campaign ranking among the largest ever conducted by a public institution.
UCSF is going public with the campaign after already raising $3 billion. Its efforts focus on three challenges -- solving fundamental biological mysteries, transforming patient care and health equity.
