Artificial intelligence pioneer Rama Chellappa named Bloomberg Distinguished Professor

April 3, 2020

Back in the 1980s, when the study of artificial intelligence was branching out into exciting new realms, Rama Chellappa organized a national conference focused on two emerging niches: computer vision and pattern recognition. The event, he recalls, drew a modest crowd. Last year the same conference brought together more than 6,000 researchers from around the world. “It’s an exciting […]

Brain changes linked with Alzheimer’s years before symptoms appear

May 20, 2019

In a records review of 290 people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, scientists at Johns Hopkins say they have identified an average level of biological and anatomical brain changes linked to Alzheimer’s disease that occur three to 10 years — some even more than 30 years — before the disease’s first recognizable symptoms appear. “Our […]

A new computational strategy paves the way for more personalized cancer treatment

May 14, 2018

Mathematicians and cancer scientists have found a way to simplify complex biomolecular data about tumors, in principle making it easier to prescribe the appropriate treatment for a specific patient. The digital approach from scientists at the Johns Hopkins University—a computational strategy transforms highly complex information into a simplified format that emphasizes patient-to-patient variation in the […]

Josh Vogelstein among three Hopkins researchs to receive $250K grants from Schmidt Sciences

May 1, 2018

Three Johns Hopkins University projects that use data science and technology in innovative ways to explore new and important scientific territories have been selected to receive Schmidt Sciences Nascent Innovation Grants. The awards went to astrophysicist Brice Ménard, mechanical engineer Sean X. Sun, and biomedical engineer Joshua Vogelstein. This is the first time that Hopkins researchers were invited […]

Can we teach computers to be digital detectives?

May 1, 2018

Imagine standing on the sidewalk of a busy city street, taking in your surroundings. “When you or I look at that scene, we have a task in mind—whether to find a place to eat or shop, the metro station, or a particular person,” says René Vidal, a Johns Hopkins professor of biomedical engineering. We take into […]

Hopkins engineers use digital tools to tackle concussion impact research

January 29, 2018

Most football fans will watch Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles for the big plays, the big hits, and—of course—the commercials. K.T. Ramesh, a biomechanics expert at Johns Hopkins University, will be looking for something more specific: head injuries. Ramesh, who has been researching traumatic brain injuries for years, […]

Upstarts: A Better Blood Test?

January 25, 2018

Lensless microchip sensors can resolve images down to the level of a molecule or less. The trick to making them useful for hematological applications is to readily detect and report on what’s contained in a few drops of blood. Read the full article in the JHU Engineering magazine.
