Gloria wins scholarship from Korean American Society in Biotech and Pharmaceuticals (KASBP). This award signifies Gloria's potential to be an important contributor in the field of biomedical and pharmaceutical science. 

Elad Arad, Mingxin He, Ashley Shay, and Professor Oleg Gang present research at Mathematics of the Origin of Life and Self-Organized Complexity Workshop. The workshop brought together theorists and experimentalists interested in emergent complexity, specifically in the contexts of the origin of life, self-organization, and self-assembly. This workshop is unique in bringing together experts from traditionally separate fields that share common themes. While the origin of life has often been explored through prebiotic chemistry, this workshop will adopt a mathematical perspective, viewing life as…

Katerina DeOlivares has been selected for the 2025 US Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Award. Her winning proposal focuses on fabricating high-strength, functional metamaterials by templating metal oxides onto 3D DNA nanostructures and characterizing their mechanical properties through in situ nanoindentation experiments. The study of these novel materials will be conducted in collaboration with scientists at Brookhaven National Lab. 

Columbia’s Lab-to-Market Life Science Accelerators help translate innovative therapeutic and medical device research into real-world applications by providing funding, mentorship, and training to faculty-led teams. The BiomedX program focused specifically on medical devices, diagnostics, platform technologies, and software with direct health impacts. Over nine weeks, we participated in a weekly bootcamp that offered frameworks and tools to navigate the translation process from lab to clinic. The program culminated in BiomedX Pitch Day, where finalist teams presented their medtech concepts and…
