Biomedical Engineering professor and ICM core faculty member, Rachel Karchin, has received the 2020 AACR Team Science Award. The award recognizes an outstanding interdisciplinary team of researchers whose scientific innovation advances our fundamental understanding of cancer, or a team that has applied existing knowledge to improve the detection, diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of cancer.
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 […]
Over 50 students and faculty gathered in Clark Hall for the annual Foundations of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Poster Session, the culminating event for the Foundations of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics course offered by The Department of Biomedical Engineering.
