On October 21st, NYGC, along with @Columbia, hosted its inaugural AI x Biology Summit, bringing together leading scientists and innovators to explore how AI is transforming biological discovery. Thank you to our incredible speakers, generous sponsors, and all who joined us!

Congratulations to NYGC CEO & Scientific Director Bing Ren, PhD, elected to the @theNAMedicine! His pioneering work in epigenomics has transformed our understanding of how genome organization and gene regulation shape cellular function and disease. nygenome.org/news-events/new…

New research in @CellPressNews from NYGC, @nyuniversity & @Columbia introduces RNA fingerprinting, a computational method that connects patterns of gene activity to their potential causes. @satijalab @david_a_knowles Read more; nygenome.org/news-events/new…

Felt crazy to learn today that there's a world class science research institution, New York City's version of MIT/Harvard's @broadinstitute right between Tribeca & Soho, called the New York Genome Center @nygenome. I have walked by it a million times and never noticed. I think many in NYC, including in Soho and Tribeca have no idea this institution exists. I didn't until I met the awesome @nevillesanjana, both a PI & a founder, and he very kindly offered to show me around & introduce me to his work. It has world class PIs pushing the bounds of cancer, gene editing, neuro research all a stone's throw from all the tech companies Soho and basically across the street from @AnthropicAI's NY offices. The faculty comes from all of NYC's top institutions, @nyuniversity, @Columbia, @WeillCornell, etc. and it spins out amazing companies much like the Broad. As someone who lives in NYC, I want us to lead across the board and visiting the New York Genome Center energized me so much...literally felt like finding a treasure in my backyard. As biology & science increasingly become an area where we build very cool companies, enabled by AI, I am optimistic that places like the New York Genome Center & @BillAckman's new UWS institution will help NYC become a leader in new biotech company formation, especially with more AI-driven bio companies like @Immunaitech, @OwkinScience, @biohub NYC, etc. built here. Would be curious to find ways to elevate the institution into something all New Yorkers know about and can be proud of...much like Broad & Boston.

Congratulations to IICD’s Dr. Sanja Vicković on receiving a three-year grant from the Mathers Foundation! 🎉 Her team will study how aging reshapes interactions between the microbiome and host tissues in the colon. 🔗 cancerdynamics.columbia.edu/… #CancerResearch #Microbiome

Researchers Bing Ren, et al. uncover sweeping changes in how the human brain controls & organizes its #Genome beginning in midlife, offering new clues to why aging sharply increases risk of #Alzheimers & other #NeurodegenerativeDiseases. @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Welcome to IICD, James Lee! 🎉 A @APAMMSECU student in the Vicković Lab at @nygenome, James develops genetic perturbation approaches for intact tissue to study how cellular neighborhoods influence perturbation effects in diseases including cancer.

What can two twentieth-century mathematicians teach us about collaboration in modern cancer research? Simon Tavaré revisits the wonderfully unconventional Hardy-Littlewood Axioms—and asks what they can still teach us today. Read here: cancerdynamics.columbia.edu/…

Congratulations to New York Genome Center Core Faculty Member, @landau_lab on this wonderful achievement! We are thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and his continued contributions to advancing cancer research and genomics.

Last week, we celebrated the conclusion of our 2026 MacMillan Summer Internship Program! 🧬 Congratulations to our talented interns, and thank you to the mentors, faculty, and staff who supported them throughout an inspiring summer at NYGC. 🎓🔬

Congratulations to @mssanjavickovic on receiving a @nih R01 grant from @genome_gov for her project “NextGen Spatial Multi-omics Technologies.” The project aims to develop a cost-effective and user-friendly platform for spatial multi-omic profiling. cancerdynamics.columbia.edu/…

🎉 Welcome to IICD, Dr. Charles Haggerty! Chuck joins the @mssanjavickovic Lab at the @nygenome as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist. His research develops spatial genomics technologies to better understand cancer biology and tumor evolution.

Congratulations to @soobeomlee, Research Scientist at @nygenome in the @mssanjavickovic group (@ColumbiaBME), who received a @macmillan_csncg fellowship. The fellowship supports research in cancer biology and non-coding genomics. Read More> cancerdynamics.columbia.edu/…

We're proud to share this important work, with contributions from NYGC scientists, Nicolas Robine, William Hooper, Tim Chu , and Jennifer Shelton. This transformative resource will help advance cancer research and accelerate scientific discovery @notSoJunkDNA

Today in @CellCellPress Dr. Hemali Phatnani and collaborators show different forms of cognitive impairment in ALS arise from biological processes, providing a new framework for understanding the disease and developing more precise therapies. Read more: nygenome.org/news-events/new…

Exciting to see this NIH-funded research highlighted by @NIHDirector_Jay. Congratulations to Bing Ren and collaborators on this important discovery—a major step forward in understanding how brain aging may contribute to neurodegenerative disease.

A new @ScienceMagazine study co-led by NYGC CEO and SD Bing Ren, Yang Xie, and Lei Chang provides the first comprehensive single-cell map of gene regulation in failing human hearts, revealing new therapeutic targets for heart failure. Read more: nygenome.org/news-events/new…
