In response to the use of a military-grade infrared camera capable of detecting exhaled breath to illustrate the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19, Hopkins mechanical engineer and ICM faculty member Rajat Mittal speaks to the Washington Post about the merits of using exhalation as a conservative proxy to show potential transmission risk in various settings. […]
Four ICM faculty are among the 41 research endeavors that have been selected to receive support this year from Johns Hopkins University’s Discovery Awards program. Each project team is made up of members from at least two JHU entities who aim to solve a complex problem and expand the horizons of knowledge. Altogether, the winning project teams—chosen […]
Natalia Trayanova, the Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering, has been selected to receive the 2021 Douglas P. Zipes Lectureship Award, given jointly by the Heart Rhythm Society and the Cardiac Electrophysiology Society. This award recognizes an individual who has made a significant and unique contribution to the field of cardiac pacing and electrophysiology […]
A paper published in the Physics of Fluids presents a mathematical model to estimate the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19. Co-authored by Rajat Mittal, professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and faculty member of the Institute for Computational Medicine, the study provides insights that could help assess how well preventive efforts, like mask […]
William S. Anderson, associate professor of neurosurgery and ICM core faculty member, has received a technology development grant through the Louis B. Thalheimer Fund for Translational Research. Anderson and his team have developed ePACStim, an adaptive brain implant system that delivers targeted and customized electrical stimulation to suppress excessive phase amplitude coupling (PAC) in the […]
Sridevi Sarma, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Associate Director of the Institute for Computational Medicine, won $10,000 in Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures’ Pitch It On! competition for female inventors. Sarma received the most votes from the 150 faculty, researchers, and investors who watched the virtual event Oct. 20, the culmination […]
Sepsis and septic shock are the leading causes of in-hospital deaths. Dr. Raimond Winslow, Director of the Institute for Computational Medicine and Raj and Neera Singh Professor in the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering and Ran Liu, doctoral student in the lab of Dr. Winslow, say their findings could help provide earlier identification of the patients […]
René Vidal PhD, Herschel L. Seder Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member and his team have received a National Science Foundation-Simons Foundation’s Research Collaborations on the Mathematical and Scientific Foundations of Deep Learning (MoDL) award. This “Collaborative Research: Transferable, Hierarchical, Expressive, Optimal, Robust, and Interpretable NETworks (THEORINET)” award will support René and […]
Casey Overby Taylor, assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Medicine, and a member of the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare and the Institute for Computational Medicine at Johns Hopkins, has received a Genomic Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health’s National Human Genome Research Institute. Taylor is one of […]
