About

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to develop quantitative computer models of human disease, personalize these models using data from individual patients, and apply them to improve disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. We partner closely with clinicians to identify driving medical problems and bring new solutions to the clinic.

ICM research includes cancer, cardiovascular disease, immnology, infectious disease, neurological disorders, and precision medicine and health.

Related Centers and Institutes

Alliance for Cardiovascular Diagnostic and treatment innovation (advance)

ADVANCE applies predictive computational modeling, data-driven approaches, and innovations in cardiac imaging to patient care, and specifically, to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

CENTER FOR ADVANCED MODELING (CAM)

The Johns Hopkins Center for Advanced Modeling (CAM) is a University-wide research center devoted to transformative synthetic modeling across the social, behavioral, and health sciences. CAM is based in extensive new space at the Johns Hopkins Mount Washington Campus, in the Department of Emergency Medicine. In addition to being a world leader in computational modeling, CAM is designed to be a welcoming and vibrant cross-roads for the whole university, and a place where students and faculty at all levels will come, to learn, to share ideas, and to brainstorm.

Center for Computational Biology (CCB)

CCB is a multidisciplinary center dedicated to research on genomics, genetics, DNA sequencing technology, and computational methods for DNA and RNA sequence analysis.

CENTER FOR IMAGING SCIENCE (CIS)

The overall goal of the Center for Imaging Science (CIS) is to participate in the worldwide establishment of the analytical models for image and pattern understanding analogous to the models generated in the Shannon era for communications and information transmission. CIS’ guiding principle is that, while the 20th century was focused on sensors for generating images, videos and multi-dimensional datasets, the fundamental challenge of the 21st century is the information extraction for the generation of the metadata of understanding. CIS achieves this goal by organizing an intradepartmental faculty focused on this fundamental challenge of the 21st century.

Convergence Institute

The Convergence Institute at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (SKCCC) aims to leverage multi-disciplinary team science to solve a problem: cancer.

Data Science and AI Institute (DSAI)

DSAI provides a nexus for experts from diverse disciplines who bring data science, machine learning, and AI to bear on activities across the Johns Hopkins institutions and beyond. Their research drives the foundations of data science and AI and drives applications over a wide range of areas including national security, societal safety, materials design, public health, clinical care, neuroscience, space systems, and policy.

Institute for Data-Intensive Science and Engineering (IDIES)

IDIES is a major interdisciplinary program, a large, diverse effort, where faculty and students work together to solve data-intensive problems, from genes to galaxies to materials science and urban planning.

Laboratory for Computational Sensing + Robotics (LCSR)

LCSR is a hub for innovative and interdisciplinary robotics engineering, research, and development.

Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare (MCEH)

MCEH catalyzes and accelerates the development of research-based innovations that advance the effectiveness and efficiency of health care.

University-wide initiatives

HOPKINS INHEALTH

The mission of the Johns Hopkins Individualized Health Initiative (Hopkins inHealth) is to promote research that will discover new ways to more precisely define, measure, and communicate each person’s unique health state and the trajectory along which it is changing; develop these discoveries into new methods that can be used in clinical practice to better inform patients and their clinicians, resulting in better decisions regarding medical care; and apply and disseminate knowledge gained from the delivery of individualized care to improve health care and health outcomes for whole populations.

INSTITUTE FOR CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH

The Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) addresses obstacles in translating basic science discoveries into research in humans, translating clinical discoveries into the community and communicating experience from clinical practice back to researchers.

Giving

Creating new pathways to the understanding of disease; building a University-wide momentum for collaborative, breakthrough research; and introducing new disciplines in medical research to accelerate study and results – these are the ambitious goals of the Institute for Computational Medicine. Achieving them will require the generous support of visionary private, governmental, and corporate partners.

Your gift to the ICM represents an entirely new and effective way of approaching philanthropy in that it underwrites key researchers and studies across all of Johns Hopkins. To support its facilities, people and research, you can choose to partner with the ICM in a number of ways.

ENDOWMENT

An endowment is a gift that is held in perpetuity and provides dependable resources for the future. A critically important form of giving, an endowment blends the donor’s vision with the needs of the Whiting School and the ICM. Over time, it provides a dependable revenue stream to reduce reliance on external funding sources and allow us to invest more consistently in our people, programs, and facilities.

In particular, endowed fellowships are an outstanding investment in the careers of future leaders in engineering and computational medicine. By establishing an endowed fellowship, you will have the satisfaction of preparing the way and launching the careers of men and women who will be leaders in tomorrow’s world. The accomplishments of these professionals, as their careers unfold, is proof that your investment is well placed indeed.

RESEARCH

Non-endowed gifts to the Fund will be used by our research team to explore areas of promise and potential for dramatically improved disease diagnosis. Donors can direct their gift to the ICM or to any of its core research areas.
