Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, discusses her recent study.

One of Columbia’s newest faculty, Akanksha Thawani, is looking inside the “jumping genes” of plants, insects, and vertebrates for a more powerful gene editor to spark a new wave of gene therapies.

New VP&S faculty include a researcher investigating how neuroinflammation affects cognition in bipolar disorder and a surgeon advancing robotic surgery to expand options for complex heart disease.

CUIMC’s Ice Cream Social united staff and community, offering treats, connection, and a visit from new Columbia president Jennifer Mnookin.

The group—including obstetricians and neuroscientists from Columbia's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons—joins a national effort to transform obstetric care with intelligent sensing.

Upending decades of debate, Columbia scientists find that most neurons in the brains of mice are not specialists but generalists that help the brain solve a huge number of different tasks.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its wide-ranging hormonal and metabolic effects, including insulin resistance.

CUIMC deans and researchers joined their colleagues from medical schools across New York State for the annual Associated Medical Schools of New York (AMSNY) Washington, DC Advocacy Day. 

The increase should help fill critical care gaps in primary care for underserved communities and address shortages in certain specialties such as psychiatry.

Children ages 5 and younger receiving federal housing assistance had lower average blood lead levels than children waiting to receive assistance.

Columbia researchers have tapped into topology, a branch of mathematics, to turn visual patterns seen in images of breast cancer tissue into numerical scores that may better predict survival.

Through this collaboration Catholic Health patients will gain direct access to select clinical trials and investigational drug programs offered through the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The grant establishes Columbia, in collaboration with New York State Psychiatric Institute and Weill Cornell Medicine, as a site in the ARIA IMPACT Network, an autism research collaborative.

Years of progress in reducing benzodiazepine prescribing for older Americans stalled after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Columbia researchers have found.

Columbia researchers have found that adults who shortened their sleep by just 80 minutes a night for six weeks gained weight and were more sedentary.

Columbia researchers are working to develop innovative solutions that help people thrive long after treatment ends.

Columbia scientists caught a malaria parasite in the act of breaking into a blood cell, revealing a parasite machine that reshapes the cell. They then designed a mini-protein to jam it.

From compulsory smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army to ACT UP in the 1980s, Columbia historian James Colgrove explains key moments in the history of public health in the United States.

Early discoveries in Lawrence Lustig’s lab helped pave the way for the first FDA-approved gene therapy for hearing loss, which has restored near-normal hearing in children with rare genetic deafness.

Trials of two experimental sickle cell gene therapies—conducted at Columbia and other centers—show that new gene-editing techniques reshape blood cells and free patients from frequent pain crises.
