The UC Davis School of Medicine has appointed Marc Dall’Era, professor of clinical urology, the permanent chair of the Department of Urologic Surgery. Dall’Era has been the interim chair since September 2023.
“Dr. Dall’Era is a highly respected clinician and researcher who has made many impactful contributions to his field,” said UC Davis School of Medicine Dean Susan Murin. “The Department of Urologic Surgery has grown and thrived under his leadership and I’m excited to see the department reach new heights, further benefitting our patients and trainees.”
Dall’Era specializes in the management of urinary tract cancers. His research interests include using MRI imaging to detect and evaluate prostate cancer. His focus also includes biomarker discovery and validation in cancer patients. He is a principal investigator on several clinical trials, including those for men with high-risk prostate cancer. He has also pioneered the use of high-intensity focused ultrasound in Sacramento for early-stage disease.
