Professor
Medicine
School of Medicine

A Professor of Medicine in the Divisions of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Allergy, and Sleep Medicine and Occupational, Environmental, and Climate Medicine, he leads the UCSF Human Exposure Laboratory and directs the San Francisco VA Airborne Hazards and Burn Pit Center of Excellence- a national program dedicated to advancing research and clinical care for veterans affected by deployment-related respiratory diseases.

Biography Dr. Arjomandi grew up in Ahvaz, a small city in southwestern Iran, and moved to the United States in 1986 in the aftermath of Iranian revolution (1979), Iraq's invasion of Iran (1980-88), and his family displacement inside Iran (1980-83). After arriving in California, he began his higher education at Los Angeles Pierce College before transferring to University of California San Diego in 1988, where he earned a bachelor's degree in molecular biology and completed a senior honors thesis in developmental biology in Dr. Richard Firtel’s lab. He then attended Stanford University School of Medicine in 1991, completing two predoctoral research fellowships in Dr. Etienne Emile Beaulieu’s lab at INSERM in Paris, France, and Dr. John Cooke’s vascular biology lab at Stanford. Dr. Arjomandi then completed a residency in internal medicine at UCLA (1996-99) and a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care at UCSF (2000-03). He completed three additional years of research fellowship funded by the American Lung Association and Chest Foundation before successfully competing for an NIH K23 award in 2006 and then joining the pulmonary and critical care faculty at UCSF and San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH). In 2008, he obtained a joint appointment at the San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS).

Currently, Dr. Arjomandi is Professor of Medicine in the Divisions of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Allergy, and Sleep Medicine and Occupational, Environmental, and Climate Medicine at UCSF with a joint appointment at SFVAHCS. He serves as Director of the UCSF Human Exposure Laboratory, Director of the SFVAHCS Environmental Medicine Clinic, and Director of the SFVAHCS Airborne Hazard and Burn Pit Center of Excellence. He is also an Investigator at the UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education and an Affiliate Member of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.
