Thank u to Columbia University President Katrina Armstrong & #DrRoyVagelos for joining in the fun & being an inspiration to all of us! #CuriousMinds2024

Can we use CRISPR screens to identify genes that drive neural stem cell aging? Super excited to see this work published nature! Huge congrats to Tyson @ruetz_tyson, Angie Pogson, Chloe Kashiwagi, and all authors! Great collaboration with Michael C Bassik! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Welcome to Columbia University, Dr Sadelain!!

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on a NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist & a bioinformatician. Please RT! More info 👇

In fiscal year 2024, the report found, NIH awarded more than $36.9 billion to researchers, supporting more than 408,000 jobs and generating over $94.5 billion in new economic activity nationwide.

A significant amount of #research takes place in universities, “where doctors, scientists, and engineers make critical discoveries that lead to treatments people use every day," says James McKiernan, MD, CEO of ColumbiaDoctors. Every treatment has a journey of discovery.

Until a few years ago, most men who needed radiation therapy for prostate cancer received 35-40 days of radiation, spread over 6-8 weeks. In 1999, Columbia scientists reasoned that most prostate cancers might respond to radiation differently than other cancers that grow faster.

Multiple clinical trials have been performed or are ongoing to test hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer, and the results have been consistent with the Columbia scientists’ predictions.

Research means reversing hair loss. Millions of Americans lose their hair because their immune system attacks their hair follicles. Columbia research uncovered the immune system’s tactics and found a drug to counteract them, resulting in a transformative treatment.

Research means more effective cancer treatments. Brain cancer is often fatal, partly because chemotherapy doses that are safe aren’t strong enough to reach the brain. Columbia researchers developed an implantable pump that sends higher doses directly to brain tumors without

A new Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons study now shows that the benefits of identifying people with Lynch Syndrome—by screening relatives of patients with colon cancer—are substantial when it comes to preventing deaths from Lynch-related colon cancers. columbiamed.link/3GsJIh7

Research means new Alzheimer’s treatments. Columbia researchers discovered a genetic variant that reduces the odds of developing Alzheimer’s disease by up to 70%. This exciting finding opens the door to new treatments that could mimic the gene’s effect in order to slow—or even
