Mosquitoes flap their wings not just to stay aloft but for two other critical purposes: to generate sound and to point that buzz in the direction of a potential mate, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have discovered. Their findings about the aerodynamics of mosquito wings could have implications for building quieter drones and for devising […]
The National Science Foundation has issued its first ever Rules of Life awards totaling $36 million to accelerate two areas of next-generation science and engineering research: building a synthetic cell, and epigenetics. “Discovering the rules governing life on earth is a grand scientific challenge that holds the potential to enhance the U.S. position as a […]
She will oversee all of WSE’s residential and nonresidential master’s programs, doctoral programs, the DEng program, and postdoctoral programs.
In proof-of-concept study of 10 patients with atrial fibrillation, personalized models accurately predict where surgeons should destroy diseased heart tissue.
Rajat Mittal, professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and ICM faculty member, is one of three Hopkins researchers to receive a grant from the Human Frontier Science Program. Mittal received the award for his work studying the communicative properties of mosquito movements. Founded by a collective of scientists from around the world, the selective […]
In a proof-of-concept study, an international scientific team led by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers has shown that a laboratory test using artificial intelligence tools has the potential to more accurately sort out which people with pancreatic cysts will go on to develop pancreatic cancers. The test, dubbed CompCyst (for comprehensive cyst analysis), incorporates measures of […]
Thirty-two interdisciplinary faculty teams across twelve Johns Hopkins institutions comprise the recipients of the 2019 Discovery Awards. Five of the winning project teams are led by ICM core faculty and a total of six ICM faculty members are awardees. The winning ICM faculty projects are: A Platform for Brain-scale Imaging and Patterned Optogenetics at Cellular […]
The professor of biomedical engineering is one of only five women worldwide to be inducted this year.
Associate professor of biomedical engineering and ICM core faculty member Feilim Mac Gabhann was honored by the Homewood Career Center for his dedication to and support of students. Mac Gabhann is one of three faculty and staff named a 2019 Career Champion for his commitment to students in achieving their goals and aspirations. “His steady […]
More than 30 members of the Girl Scouts of Central Maryland spent a day at Johns Hopkins University last weekend thinking like engineers as they designed and built miniature roller coasters out of cardboard boxes, insulation tubing, pipe cleaners, cups, tape, and other everyday materials. Through this fun and competitive activity, the middle school-aged troop […]
