Investigation Brief
The site is the official research page for the Buchwalter Lab at UCSF, presenting scientific research on nuclear lamina, chromatin, and aging biology. All security signals are clean and the page contains only standard academic content with no observed malicious actions.
What the site appears to do
The captured page is the homepage of the Buchwalter Lab at UCSF. It describes the lab's focus on the cell biology of the genome, nuclear lamina function, chromatin organization, laminopathies, and aging biology.
Content includes a mission statement, research descriptions, selected peer-reviewed publications with DOIs, team member listings, and contact information for postdoctoral and student opportunities.
Strongest evidence and limitations
the multi-engine malware scan reports 0 malicious detections out of 92 engines. Safe Browsing and the browser scan both returned clean results with no threats flagged.
The hosting IP shows an abuse confidence score of 56/100 from 25 reports, consistent with shared GitHub Pages infrastructure rather than site-specific abuse.
No credential collection forms, deceptive downloads, redirects, or monetization elements were observed on the page.
Practical user impact
The site is a standard academic research page hosted on GitHub Pages. Visitors can read about the lab's work, view publications, and contact the principal investigator via the listed UCSF email for research opportunities.
No financial transactions, account creation, or software downloads are present. The page poses no observable risk to users.
Why the score is 92
Hosting IP has moderate abuse reports typical of shared CDN. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
