Inez Lam, PhD student in the Institute for Computational Medicine, is part of a group of Johns Hopkins students and alumni who will receive six months of business and financial support from the Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures Social Innovation Lab for their emerging nonprofit projects. Selected from 84 applications, the 10 startups that comprise the recently […]
Arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, can be deadly but arrhythmia linked to sudden death is quite rare, making it a challenging condition to study. A powerful computer model developed by a team of researchers led by ICM alum, Mark A. Walker, gives promise to future developments in the treatment of arrhythmia. in a study published in the […]
In an article published in the November 2017 issue of Notices of the American Mathematical Society, Tilak Ratnanather points out that because of its visual nature mathematics is an attractive discipline to people with hearing loss. It may seem surprising then, that very few people with hearing loss have achieved advanced degrees in Mathematics. In his […]
Sepsis contributes to as many as 50% of hospital deaths. A new tool developed by Johns Hopkins engineer and ICM core faculty member, Suchi Saria, could help doctors spot sepsis before it’s too late. Saria was featured in NovaNext for her extensive work using computer algorithms and patient data to save lives. “The signs that […]
ICM core faculty member, Natalia Trayanova, participated in a briefing on Capitol Hill in defense of the federal funding of scientific research yesterday. The briefing was organized by United for Medical Research, a coalition whose mission is to seek steady increases in funding for the National Institutes of Health. Trayanova was one of four NIH-funded scientists to highlight […]
Sanjukta Nandi-Bose, a PhD candidate in the lab of ICM director Raimond Winslow, was one of two student researchers who was awarded “Best Abstract: Student and Trainee-Initiated Research” at the Sixth Annual Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital Research Symposium.
