Researchers and clinicians don’t fully understand why some cancers spread and others do not. What they do know is that when cancer does spread, it dramatically decreases survival rates. If physicians could predict the likelihood that primary tumors will metastasize, they would be able to choose the best treatment options for patients. However, current testing […]
Following the department’s Diversity Action Plan, a group of students, staff and faculty met several times this year to discuss the department’s aspirations in diversity, equity, and inclusion. One result is a collaborative statement of values, approved by the full faculty this spring. Along with the values statement, the department created a new web page […]
Rebecca Schulman, associate faculty member at the Institute for NanoBioTechnology’s (INBT) and associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Whiting School of Engineering, along with PhD student Yi Li, have developed DNA nanostructures that can self-heal from damage caused by nuclease enzymes in the body. Their results were published in […]
The Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering is launching a new, multidisciplinary engineering design course in the fall of 2019. This 1-semester course will bring together students from multiple engineering disciplines to address real world challenges. The class of 15-20 students will be placed on 4 or 5 teams, and each team will be matched […]
