Ben Izar's lab is a pioneer in combining single cell techniques, genome-editing, and systems biology to explore the cancer field’s most pressing problems.
Including BRCA1 testing with prenatal carrier screening could identify people at risk of breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer at a time when cancer screening could save their lives.
A study from Columbia researchers suggests that changing a single letter in the DNA code of selected genes in T cells may supercharge cell therapies against cancer.
A study of cancer patients with COVID-19 finds mortality is significantly higher than in the general population and Black patients are half as likely to receive the antiviral remdesivir.
Compared to yearly screening, more frequent mammograms for women treated for early-stage breast cancer did not confer additional benefit, a study from Columbia University oncologists has found.
Seizures are usually considered a side effect of brain cancer, but a new Columbia University study of mice suggests they may also fuel the further growth of brain tumors.
Columbia University President Lee Bollinger announced the appointment of Anil Rustgi, MD, director of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, as interim EVP and dean, effective July 1, 2020.
Scientists at Columbia's Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center are using technologies developed to study cancer to look for drugs to treat COVID-19 and disarm the virus.
In a new study of mice, Columbia researchers found that an experimental drug that breaks down an amino acid slows pancreatic tumor growth by causing ferroptosis, an unusual form of cell death.
CancerFIT—a free exercise program at CUIMC for cancer patients and survivors—offers more than a physical workout, it also provides much-needed support and inspiration.
Columbia biomedical engineers have designed a bacteria strain that seeks out solid tumors and safely delivers immunotherapies, resulting in tumor regression in mouse models.
The three scientists honored by the 2019 Horwitz Prize played key roles in identifying and deciphering the PI3K pathway, which has led to new treatments for several types of cancer.
