Pleased to announce the first trial to demonstrate benefit of systemic therapy in appendiceal cancer. Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab; significantly improved PFS compared to synthetic cohort. 🟢Median PFS 18.3 vs 4.4m. 🙇♂️Thanks to John Paul Shen and Kanwal Raghav 🩺 🖖🏻 for mentorship.

Our study on human γδ T cells in mucosal and lymphoid tissues revealed increased frequencies, distinct functions, subsets, and site-specific compartmentalization in children compared to adults. with Josh Gray . Thanks to collaborators Todd M. Brusko Thomas Connors Peter Sims Yosef Lab




Congrats on preprint study from some of our collaborators. Shows strategy to cut batch effects + integrate single-cell protein measures across CITE-seq datasets. Authors include Ye Zheng Raphael Gottardo 📊🧪🖥️ Peter Sims bioRxiv #FOCIS24 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A cell state-specific metabolic vulnerability to GPX4-dependent ferroptosis in glioblastoma Peter Sims Peter Canoll Columbia University et al find quiescent astrocyte-like glioma cells show abnormal energy metabolism, sensitizing them to ferroptosis-inducing drugs embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…


Awesome collaboration with Anil K. Rustgi and colleagues!

Very happy to see my main project from residency Columbia Neurosurgery finally out! Cool story on mitochondrial #metabolic vulnerabilities and #ferroptosis linked to #GBM cell states. So grateful for the support from Jeffrey Bruce Peter Canoll Peter Sims Brent Stockwell Jan Kitajewski and others




Single-cell RNA sequencing to profile 215,680 *living* human #microglia across neurological diseases and CNS regions identifies disease-enriched subsets and tool compounds recapitulating microglial states John Tuddenham @HaageVc Mariko taga nature.com/articles/s4159…

🧵1/9 Excited to share our latest research on human microglia! We explored microglial heterogeneity through single-cell RNA sequencing of 215,680 live human microglia from 74 donors across neurological diseases. #NeuroImmunology #Microglia Nature Neuroscience nature.com/articles/s4159…

Another awesome collaboration with Donna Farber! Among many other experiments, we profiled antigen-responsive T cells across the body for COVID vaccine and flu with CITE-seq. Will be interesting to see if these findings generalize to other viruses and vaccines!

In a new study, Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons researchers discovered that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines prompt the immune system to store memory T and B cells—key for long-term immunity—in tissues like the lungs, spleen, and bone marrow. columbiamed.link/4eO8rI6
