Joachim Frank shares the Nobel Prize with two other scientists for inventing a new and more powerful method of capturing 3D images of biological molecules in atomic detail.

Studies underway at Columbia University by researchers Brent Stockwell and Ruben Gonzalez could change the fate of millions of patients who die every year because existing drugs fail to treat them.

‘Orion,’ a technique developed by Columbia University scientists and their colleagues, will help researchers identify disease-causing mutations in patients when current methods come up dry.

The Institute for Genomic Medicine and the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology are pleased to announce the formation of a new initiative designed to enhance constitutional genomic diagnostics, research, and education at Columbia University Medical Center.

Genes that cause MacTel–a rare disease of the retina–remain elusive, but a new study from an international team of researchers has narrowed the search. The researchers combed through the genomes of more than 450 patients and identified five small regions of the genome where MacTel genes are likely to reside.
