Check out our new collaborative work with Dr. Kam Leong @columbiauniversity.bsky.social now out in Advanced Functional Materials! We developed oral nanoparticles to help mitigate hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome, especially in cases of deep space exploration: t.co/1jQwcU1pDB

Why I Study Cancer The cancers that are fatal today don't have to be tomorrow. Support for biomedical research enables generational shifts in how we treat cancer. What a privilege to work at @cancercenteril. Work funded by National Institutes of Health www.instagram.com/reel/DGTUxwD...

Honored to be featured in this podcast about careers in Tissue Engineering! Always a pleasure to chat with superstar @naveedtavakol.bsky.social from @columbiauniversity.bsky.social Listen to learn more about the challenges and joys of becoming a Professor of BME! @nyutandon.bsky.social

Check out our new episode of the #TERC podcast series "Career Conversations", ft. my friend & @nyutandon.bsky.social Prof. Dr. @irenedelazaro.bsky.social, where she describes her diverse international research experiences, starting up her lab, & the BME community. open.spotify.com/episode/0xrD...

Join us tomorrow, Feb. 19th at 3pm EST as Prof. Jeff Hubbell from NYU joins us for #TissueTalks to discuss "Engineering the microenvironment in regeneration and inflammation." See you soon: bit.ly/tissuetalks @columbiauniversity.bsky.social

Join us tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 12th at 3pm EST for a #TissueTalk with a pioneer in the cancer, hematopoiesis, and stem cell fields from @StanfordMed Dr. Irv Weissman! See you there: bit.ly/tissuetalks

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Join us today, Wed. Feb 5th at 3pm EST for a #TissueTalk with @mitofficial.bsky.social @wyssinstitute.bsky.social Prof. Ellen Roche on "Tissue talks and tissue moves: replicating tissue motion for simulation and organ assistance." See you there: bit.ly/tissuetalks

Join us tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 29th at 3pm EST for a #TissueTalk from a pioneer in the stem cell field, Stanford Prof. Helen Blau, on "Targeting a gerozyme to increase muscle strength." See you there: bit.ly/tissuetalks @columbiauniversity.bsky.social @stanforduniversity.bsky.social

#TissueTalks are back for Spring 2025! Join us tomorrow, Wed., Jan. 22nd at 3pm EST for a #TissueTalk with Prof. Tal Danino from our very own dept to discuss "Engineering bacteria for cancer therapy." See you soon: columbiauniversity.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-E0gHU6CT3enyf0mJH1LZw#/registration

Our paper was recently chosen as one of the covers of Advanced Science for their Nov 2024 issue: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Join us for a #TissueTalk TODAY at 3pm EST from Prof. Darrell Irvine @MIT on “modulating immunity with leukocyte-anchored cytokines.” See you there: bit.ly/tissuetalks

Given the scRNA data on day 0 and day 3, can we predict the data on day 1, day 2 and further? Squidiff predicts this differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into mesendoderm and endoderm, guided by stimuli vectors. 3/🦑

We are thrilled to share #Squidiff 🦑, a conditional diffusion model, which generates new transcriptomes that represent distinct cellular states, and its application to cell differentiation and drug perturbation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/🦑

Wanted to reintroduce myself since we’re making new friends on a new platform 🦋 I’m Naveed, a postdoc at Columbia in NYC focused on engineering models of the blood & immune system “in a dish.” Outside of science, I love Taylor Swift, traveling, plants, and the LGBTQIA+ community 🫶
