“Our team … is dedicated to developing #robots that can perform complex, repetitive tasks more consistently and accurately than the best #surgeons,” say researchers from @JohnsHopkins. Robotic surgeons are improving rapidly. When will they enter your OR? buff.ly/rXx4eee
“Current surgical robotic technology has made some procedures less invasive, but complication rates haven’t really dropped,” says the Malone Center’s Axel Krieger. “This made us look into what is the next generation of robotic systems that can help patients and surgeons.”
An AI-powered robot was able to dissect a gall bladder from a dead pig in what researchers claim is the first realistic surgery with almost no human intervention. newscientist.com/article/248757…
Congratulations to @mdredze, Emily E. Haroz, Joel Bader, and @KathyMcDonald on receiving funding from the latest round of Nexus awards, which support a diverse range of programming, research, and teaching activities at the @JHUBloombergCtr. malonecenter.jhu.edu/malone-center-…
A team of Johns Hopkins–led researchers developed a robot capable of successfully performing autonomous surgery on a lifelike patient with no human intervention required. This federally funded work is a transformative advancement in surgical robotics. hub.jhu.edu/2025/07/09/rob…
Trained by Malone Center member Axel Krieger and team, the robot performed unflappably across trials and with the expertise of a skilled human surgeon, even during unexpected scenarios typical in real-life medical emergencies. Learn more: malonecenter.jhu.edu/robot-performs…
We are pleased to announce the first round of our 2025 Seed Grant Awards! 🌱 Learn more about the funded projects here: malonecenter.jhu.edu/first-round-of…
“This advancement moves us from robots that can execute specific surgical tasks to robots that truly understand surgical procedures,” says medical roboticist and Malone Center member Axel Krieger.
In a historic leap for #medicaltechnology, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have successfully performed the first #autonomous laparoscopic surgery on soft tissue using a robot—without any human intervention. #electronicsnews #technologynews timestech.in/robot-performs…
Developed by Malone Center member Axel Krieger and team, this system trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon. Learn more: hub.jhu.edu/2025/07/09/rob…
Excited to share a blogpost summarizing challenges, opportunities & reflections from a course @HopkinsEngineer co-taught with @alexisjbattle (and huge support from @GrimesSeraj!) at the the intersection of #deeplearning #genetics #genomics stephaniehicks.com/blog/course-de… #ML #education
Learn more about HaptiKart, developed by @Dr_Jdelaine and team: malonecenter.jhu.edu/steering-autis…
HaptiKart is a five-minute racing video game that helps doctors figure out if a child learns better through physical sensations or verbal cues. wmar2news.com/local/breakthr…
We are pleased to announce that Laura Connolly (@queensu) and Amama Mahmood have been named recipients of this year’s Malone Postdoctoral Fellowship. Learn more: malonecenter.jhu.edu/new-cohort-of-…
Chosen from 274 proposals, @MuyinatuBell, @KimiaGhobadi, Harold P. Lehmann, and Tin Yan “Alvin” Liu are among 150 individuals on the 39 multidisciplinary endeavors that have been selected to receive Johns Hopkins Discovery Awards this year. Learn more: malonecenter.jhu.edu/bell-ghobadi-l…
Led by John C. Malone Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering @Dr_Jdelaine, Johns Hopkins University and @KennedyKrieger researchers use a new racing game to shed light on how children with autism learn. Read more: malonecenter.jhu.edu/steering-autis…
Congratulations, @Dr_Jdelaine!
Johns Hopkins has named 20 early-career faculty as 2025 Catalyst Award winners. Recognized for their academic impact and research potential, each awardee will receive a $100k grant and mentoring support to advance their work. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/17/joh…
Our colleague and friend will be deeply missed. baltimoresun.com/2025/06/14/jer…
Malone Center members Axel Krieger (pictured below) and @MuyinatuBell (featured here: youtube.com/watch?v=LMAyLH…) presented their lifesaving research at #HopkinsontheHill last week:
This year's Hopkins on the Hill brought together D.C. policymakers and the public to experience firsthand how federal funding supports transformative research at Johns Hopkins. Read all the hightlights at bit.ly/4n2vdS5. #ResearchSavesLives
Malone Center member Swaroop Vedula presented at the joint @HopkinsDSAI and @JHUAPL Sip & Solve event held last month. These evenings bring together distinguished faculty members from @JohnsHopkins to share insights into their work at the intersection of #ArtificialIntelligence.
“My whole team, including those who were eager to apply for more permanent positions in the U.S., have no more interest,” says @JohnsHopkins’ @MathiasUnberath. Those looking for jobs are applying in Europe, “including some of my superstars.” nytimes.com/2025/06/03/us/…
Malone Center members @MuyinatuBell and Axel Krieger will present their research on cutting-edge technologies for better patient care and enhancing precision in robotic surgery at this year’s #HopkinsontheHill research showcase! RSVP here: hopkinsonthehill2025.eventbrite.com
🚨 1 week left! 🚨 It’s not too late to apply for 2025 Malone Center Seed Grants—learn more here: malonecenter.jhu.edu/seed-grant/
