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.
Fellowship will focus on developing computational models of lung disease; deadline to apply is Sept. 1
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 […]
Qingchu Jin, a PhD candidate in the department of biomedical engineering, is the recipient of the 2019-2020 Gakenheimer Fellowship. The award will support Jin’s research in the lab of ICM Director, Raimond Winslow, Raj and Neera Singh Professor of Biomedical Engineering. The Gakenheimer Fellowship was established in 2013 by Johns Hopkins Engineering alumnus, David C. Gakenheimer, […]
Thirty-two interdisciplinary faculty teams across twelve Johns Hopkins institutions comprise the recipients of the 2019 Discovery Awards.
