BRAIN initiative grants
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative is aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By accelerating the development and application of innovative technologies, researchers will be able to produce a revolutionary new dynamic picture of the brain that, for the first time, shows how individual cells and complex neural circuits […]
Ferric makes EETimes “Silicon 60”!
Ferric Semiconductor Inc. makes EETimes “Silicon 60”! Founded in 2011, Ferric is developing innovative DC-to-DC conversion circuits based on a magnetic core inductor process that can be manufactured using CMOS back-end-of-line processes. This enables efficient, high-density on-chip or on-package power conversion at any process node. Ferric is working with foundry partner TSMC. Learn More
We are participating in the new Center for Research in Diagnostics and Discovery
The Center for Infection and Immunity has been committed to research and service in global public heath since moving from the University of California to Columbia in 2001. The CII is directed by W. Ian Lipkin, MD, John Snow Professor of Epidemiology and Professor of Neurology and Pathology who has been named the “World’s Most Celebrated […]
Chips can listen to bacteria: video from CNCnews.cn
A team of Columbia University professors has accomplished a state-of-the-art integration of computer circuit technology and biology. They have developed a chip that can listen to the communications of bacteria. The integrated circuit chip is similar to the ones used in regular computers or smart phones and measures electrochemical signals the bacteria use to “talk […]
Dan Bellin’s new paper in Nature Communications
In a study published today in Nature Communications, a research team led by Ken Shepard, professor of electrical engineering and biomedical engineering at Columbia Engineering, and Lars Dietrich, assistant professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has demonstrated that integrated circuit technology, the basis of modern computers and communications devices, can be used for a […]
