Kam Leong, a versatile biomedical engineer originally trained in chemical engineering, has developed an impressive array of innovative nanotechnologies that have opened up new opportunities in biomedical research and drug delivery.

A new mathematical model created by Columbia illustrates how the brain maintains the fidelity of memories for years, decades or even a lifetime.

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center and the Data Science Institute at Columbia University have uncovered a potentially dangerous drug interaction using data science.

Nanoscientists have a new tool that promises to put long-lasting batteries and super-efficient solar panels within closer reach. Atomic Electron Tomography lets scientists precisely map the coordinates of individual atoms within a nanoparticle, or tiny cluster of a few hundred atoms.

Columbia scientists have demonstrated it is possible to manufacture solar cells that are far more efficient than existing silicon energy cells by using a new kind of material, a development that could help reduce fossil fuel consumption.

Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medicine, in collaboration with NewYork-Presbyterian and NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem, have been awarded a grant from the NIH for approximately $4 million to enroll participants in the Cohort Program of President Barack Obama’s Precision Medicine Initiative.

Thomas Theis has been named the inaugural executive director of the Columbia Nano Initiative, an interdisciplinary group led by Columbia Engineering focused on advancing research efforts in nanotechnology.
