Research Summary

Amy M Lin joined the UCSF faculty in 2005 as a genitourinary medical oncologist. From 2005 to 2018, Dr. Lin worked in a multidisciplinary team of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and urologic surgical oncologists both at UCSF and the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center providing specialized outpatient patient care to all types of genitourinary malignancies including prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancer. In 2018, Dr. Lin joined UCSF’s inpatient hospital-based solid tumor oncology program as a faculty member and chief of clinical operations. She also serves as the Medical Director of Clinical Informatics and Data Analytics for Adult Cancer Services at the Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center. She is currently a Professor of Medicine and Urology.

Dr. Lin’s focus is on improving clinical care workflows to optimize health care delivery. She is interested in how health care technology can enhance certain aspects of patient care and believes that increasing the quality of health care data collection, integration of multi-source patient health care data, and data interoperability are key to these efforts. Dr. Lin has been an active subject matter expert on electronic health record (EHR) clinical workflows within the Cancer Center.
