Through a new collaboration, stem cell researcher Dieter Egli, PhD and cancer researcher Juan Manuel Schvartzman, MD, PhD are investigating the stressors that embryos experience during the very early period of replication and how they respond to those stressors. Their research may have implications for health challenges ranging from in vitro fertilization to cancer, since cancer cells resemble early embryonic cells, they note. “We really don’t know very much about how this window of genomic instability in early development affects our health as adults, and that’s very important to understand. It could very well help us understand health and disease in many different areas,” says Dr. Egli. The Columbia University Irving Medical Center collaborators recently received a substantial grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation for this work.

Many new mothers plan to breastfeed their babies. But breastfeeding isn't always easy, and more than half of new moms find they are unable to meet their breastfeeding goals after dealing with problems with milk production, pumping, nipple pain, and difficulty getting their babies to latch. Unfortunately, many moms who plan to breastfeed don't have access to the quality, affordable support they need once they leave the hospital. To bridge this gap in care, Dr. Melissa Glassman, a pediatrician and breastfeeding and lactation medicine specialist, founded the Outpatient Breastfeeding Support Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center in 2017.
