Research and Training Areas

Cell and Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering, one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas in biomedical engineering, offers vast potential for changing traditional approaches to meeting many critical health care needs.

Computational Biology

  • Bioinformatics
    Biomedical research has been revolutionized by technologies that generate high throughput data. Research in bioinformatics is focused on representing and analyzing this informational data.
  • Computational Modeling
    Hopkins biomedical engineering researchers draw on vast amounts of genetic and biochemical data. They combine knowledge of the human genome with the massive power of modern computers to construct realistic simulations of human organs.

Medical Imaging

The human body can be imaged in scales from a single molecule to the whole body. These images allow physicians not only to see what a patient's organs look like, but also how they are functioning—even at the smallest dimensions.

Molecular Neural Cardiovascular Systems (MNCS)

  • Synopsis of MNCS Labs
    View researchers and their publications.
  • Molecular and Cell Systems
    The human body’s 100 trillion cells perform most   fundamental life functions. Understanding how molecules interact to produce these functions is a central biological challenge that holds the key to designing effective treatments for combating disease.
  • Cardiovascular Systems
    Cardiovascular disease poses a major health problem. Researchers  from across the disciplines of physiology, biophysics, biomechanics, mathematics, systems identification and computer modeling work collaboratively on a number of cardiovascular research projects.

Neuroscience and Neuroengineering

The brain is perhaps the greatest and most complicated learning system and exercises control over virtually every aspect of behavior. Investigators in this area share a common desire to produce quantitative models of information coding and processing in neural systems.
