New VP&S Faculty

The VP&S Office of Faculty Affairs has provided this list of full-time faculty who joined the medical school in January and February 2025:

• Paul Curtin, PhD, Pediatrics: Curtin is a computational data scientist with expertise in developmental neurobiology and exposomics. His work involves the development of methods in machine learning and biostatistics for the analysis of high-dimensional and longitudinal data (particularly involving neuroimaging and developmental psychobiology) as commonly encountered in pediatric cohorts.
• Sascha Haubner, MD, Medicine: Haubner is a laboratory investigator with a focus on engineered cellular immunotherapies for myeloid malignancies. His research has led to the clinical translation of a novel chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). As part of the Columbia Initiative in Cell Engineering and Therapy (CICET), his laboratory is developing safer and more effective next-generation CAR strategies for AML. 
• Delia M. Keating, MD, Radiology: Keating is a board-certified radiologist specializing in breast imaging and the director of the Avon Foundation Breast Imaging Center. Her primary area of interest is multimodality screening for breast cancer. She is also an experienced educator in all aspects of breast imaging and intervention and has received awards for excellence in teaching.
• Alexandra Liu, PsyD, Psychiatry
• Latisha E. Moreta, MD, Ob/Gyn: Moreta offers of a wide variety of services in obstetrics and gynecology and her goal is to provide evidence-based and patient-centered care. Her interests include prenatal genetics, infertility, family planning and contraception, health care disparities, and well woman care.
• Estefania Oliveros Soles, MD, Medicine: Oliveros specializes in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology and is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association. Her research has focused on pulmonary hypertension, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, exercise hemodynamics, heart failure, and cardio-obstetrics.
• Jessica Tu, MD, Emergency Medicine
• Junhao Wen, PhD, Radiology: Wen is a computational neuroscientist who uses artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques to study human aging and disease. His research focuses on using large-scale multi-organ, multi-omics biomedical data to discover novel biomarkers to inform personalized medicine. He is director of imaging genetics research at Columbia's Center for Innovation in Imaging Biomarkers and Integrated Diagnostics (CIMBID).
• Xuhai "Orson" Xu, PhD, Biomedical Informatics: Specializing in human-computer interaction, applied machine learning, and health, Xu develops deployable behavior modeling algorithms to monitor various health and well-being conditions using everyday sensor data and health records. He also designs and deploys intelligent intervention and interaction techniques that help users achieve personal health and well-being goals and support health experts in making decisions.
• Lionel  S. Zuckier, MD, Radiology: Zuckier is a radiologist, board-certified nuclear medicine physician, and director of clinical theranostics. He practices all aspects of nuclear medicine with an interest in theranostic applications.
