Scientists with disabilities who work in a field related to their disability offer unique viewpoints to academic research, thus enhancing research in their field. A recent article in the spring 2019 issue of Acoustics Today focuses on the contributions of deaf or hard-of-hearing scientists to the field of auditory research in their own words. In […]
Natalia Trayanova, the Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, has been selected to receive the Heart Rhythm Society’s (HRS) Distinguished Scientist Award. Trayanova will be honored at the Society’s 40th Scientific Sessions in San Francisco this May. The HRS, a leading resource on cardiac pacing and electrophysiology, is dedicated […]
Scientists discover a ‘push-pull’ dynamic between the brain’s hemispheres during high-risk betting.
The Institute for Computational Medicine is pleased to announce that Dr. Rachel Karchin, William R. Brody Faculty Scholar, has been promoted by the Johns Hopkins University to full professor of Biomedical Engineering effective July 1, 2018. Dr. Karchin holds appointments with the Institute for Computational Medicine, the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and the Department of […]
The award is presented annually to a physician or team who partners with patients, families, colleagues, and staff members to optimize patient outcomes and eliminate preventable harm.
Throughout his career, Donald Geman, ICM core faculty member and professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, has developed statistical methods for a variety of research applications. Geman’s most recent research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences focuses on engineering an algorithm that may assist in differentiating between certain […]
Tilak Ratnanather, associate research professor of biomedical engineering and ICM core faculty member, has partnered with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Summer Internship Program to provide students with hearing loss opportunities to gain advanced, hands-on experience in STEM disciplines. This year, he launched the STEM-HEAR initiative (STEM for students with Hearing loss to Engage in Auditory […]
In a new $5.5 million center that spans engineering and cardiology specialties at Johns Hopkins, experts aim to improve the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders that affect millions of people by leveraging innovations in cardiac imaging, computer simulations and data science. The new center, called the Alliance for Cardiovascular Diagnostic and Treatment Innovation (ADVANCE), […]
Driver genes in different metastases from the same patient are remarkably similar, providing optimism for the success of future targeted therapies, according to a published study by Science. The report, “Minimal Functional Driver Gene Heterogeneity Among Untreated Metastases,” looked at data from samples that have spread from the site of origin to another part of the body in […]
