As part of Climate Week NYC, Columbia Engineering will celebrate a week of events bringing together researchers and experts at the forefront of developing solutions to help the planet and society.
n a new study, a team of researchers from Columbia Engineering, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Harvard University report that autoantibodies alone directly affect heart function in lupus patients.
Columbia University researchers have developed a python-tooth-inspired device as a supplement to current rotator cuff suture repair, and found that it nearly doubled repair strength. Their biomimetic approach following the design of python teeth helps to reattach tendons to bone more securely. The device not only augments the strength of the repair but can also be customized to the patient.
Columbia Engineers unveiled BeatProfiler, a groundbreaking new tool-- a comprehensive software that automates the analysis of heart cell function from video data. It's the first system to integrate the analysis of different heart function indicators into one tool, speeding up the process significantly and reducing the chance for errors.
Columbia Engineering researchers develop a novel approach that can detect AI-generated content without needing access to the AI's architecture, algorithms, or training data鈥揳 first in the field.
Columbia Biomedical Engineer Ke Cheng has developed a technique that uses inhalation of exosomes, or nanobubbles, to directly deliver IL-12 mRNA to the lungs of mice.
Columbia engineers have built a new AI that shatters a long-held belief in forensics鈥搕hat fingerprints from different fingers of the same person are unique. It turns out they are similar, only we鈥檝e been comparing fingerprints the wrong way!
Elham Azizi is on a mission to better understand the complexities of cancer through the design of sophisticated data-driven computational methods. Her motivation, like many of her peers in the field, is to be able to identify and predict what drives cancer growth in the hopes of improving therapies that work best for each individual patient.
A multi-institutional team led by Columbia Engineering has won a $5 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to address AI systems learning biases we don't want them to have and showing discrimination based on gender, race, religion, or other sensitive attributes.
Computer Science Professors Christos Papadimitriou and Mihalis Yannakakis received the John von Neumann Theory Prize for their research in computational complexity theory that explores the boundaries of efficiently solving decision and optimization problems crucial to operations research and management sciences. The recipients were presented with the prize at the 2023 INFORMS Annual Meeting in October in Phoenix, AZ.
Marco Giometto, whose research centers on the fundamental study of turbulence in the environment using highly scalable computational frameworks, has been awarded a Young Investigator Award by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
Recent work directed by professors Ronghui Gu and Jason Nieh introduced a new tool, Spoq, that significantly reduces the complex efforts people must use to verify real-world software and makes it possible to verify existing C systems code without modifications.
Synthetic biologists at Columbia Engineering report today a new approach to attacking tumors. They have engineered tumor-colonizing bacteria (probiotics) to produce synthetic targets in tumors that direct CAR-T cells to destroy the newly highlighted cancer cells.
Using gene therapy to treat many neurologic diseases, such as Alzheimer鈥檚 and Parkinson鈥檚, has long been a long-sought goal of researchers, but the blood-brain barrier has proven very difficult to cross.
