The Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering seeks to improve health through excellence in research, education, and technology.
To help people with obstructive sleep apnea, a team of Johns Hopkins alumni is developing a lightweight sleep apnea treatment device that is as easy to wear as a retainer. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
A team of students is developing PointeSense, a smart toe pad and ankle band designed to help prevent injuries in ballet dancers who perform en pointe—a demanding technique where the dancer balances all their weight on the tips of their toes. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
Renowned epidemiologist and @JohnsHopkins alum Derek Cummings has joined the university as the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Infectious Disease Dynamics. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
High school students in our summer ISPEED program are working to understand the skeletal system using osteoblasts differentiated from stem cells. They are applying vitamins and supplements alongside calcium to examine the mineralization process, key to bone density and health.
Xiao Yang joined #HopkinsBME as an assistant professor this summer. In this interview, Yang shares what drives her research, the potential impact she hopes to make, and what excites her most about being a part of the Hopkins community. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
Cells and tissues surrounding a breast cancer tumor may hold critical information about how patients will respond to treatment, according to a new study from Johns Hopkins University. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
.@NTrayanova made another guest appearance. Check out her interview with WYPR! wypr.org/show/on-the-re…
In a hybrid summer course called Projects in Medical Sensors & Devices, students visited the Homewood campus in June to get some hands-on experience. They brought their Arduino-based projects home so that they could continue to work on them for the rest of the summer. #HopkinsBME
NEW PAPER ALERT 📢 Score-based diffusion models are powerful—but slow to sample. Could there be something better? Drop the scores, use proximals instead! We present Proximal Diffusion Models (ProxDM), a faster alternative both in theory* and practice. Here’s how it works 🧵(1/n)
Federally funded research led by @NTrayanova & other @JohnsHopkins scientists tested how well an AI model could predict the risk for sudden cardiac death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Check out this @NYMag article that mentions their work. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
In @NatureCVR: One of cardiology’s hardest problems is identifying which patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are at real risk of sudden cardiac death. @NTrayanova's new multimodal AI model achieved 89% accuracy, offering a path for prevention. engineering.jhu.edu/news/ai-predic…
Five current and former students from #HopkinsBME have been awarded the highly competitive @NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. The distinguished group includes two current graduate students and three recent alumni. Congratulations to all! bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…

“We have the ability to predict with very high accuracy whether a patient is at very high risk for sudden cardiac death or not.” - @NTrayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
Two areas of the brain may work in combination to tell the brain when it’s “feeling” tired. The results may provide a way to better evaluate and treat people who experience extreme mental exhaustion. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
I received this Victorian (~1850s) #microscope slide of a butterfly as a gift and was inspired to make a little video about it #sciart #microscopy 📽️ youtube.com/shorts/vVKCkiw… Apparently back then, people had microscopes at home as a form of entertainment! #scienceisforeveryone
Supported by the @NIH, Johns Hopkins researchers have created LiftOn, a new software tool that can transfer annotations between the genomes of different species to map out new genomes far more quickly than current methods. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
⚠️ Final chance to apply to the Rising Stars in Engineering in Health workshop! Submit your application by Tuesday, July 1. bme.columbia.edu/rising-stars-e…
Altogether, the winning project teams—chosen from 274 proposals—include 150 individuals representing 12 Johns Hopkins entities. Of the 39 funded projects, five include biomedical engineering faculty. bme.jhu.edu/news-events/ne…
The impact of federally funded research was on full display at #HopkinsOnTheHill last week! One standout was the "Aging Insights Through AI-Driven Imaging" project, led by JHU BME's @JudeM_Phillip and supported by @NIH. #ResearchSavesLives hub.jhu.edu/gallery/2025/0…
