About us
Johns Hopkins Medicine is a governing structure for the University’s School of Medicine and the health system, coordinating their research, teaching, patient care, and related enterprises. The Johns Hopkins Hospital opened in 1889, followed four years later by the university’s School of Medicine, revolutionizing medical practice, teaching, and research in the United States. The hospital is now part of the Johns Hopkins Health System, which includes two other acute-care hospitals and additional integrated health-care delivery components, with a network of primary and specialty care practices throughout Maryland, outpatient care, long-term care, and home care. The Johns Hopkins University opened in 1876 as America’s first research university, founded for the express purpose of expanding knowledge and putting that knowledge to work for the good of humanity. Two Interconnected Institutions: Over the years, the University and Hospital have grown, and—sometimes jointly, sometimes separately—they have created affiliated organizations. The Johns Hopkins Institutions is a collective name for the University and the Johns Hopkins Health System. The Johns Hopkins University includes nine academic and research divisions, and numerous centers, institutes, and affiliated entities.

Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) devices have been pivotal to answering age-old questions about the brain and giving us new ways to treat it. Yet there is much we don’t know about how these devices affect the brain and how they can be safely used in the clinic. Now, NIBS devices are being marketed directly to the consumer, which could cause potential hazards. Ph.D. candidate Michael Dryzer shares what he knows about NIBS and his thoughts on the legitimacy of the new generation of personal brain stimulators. https://bit.ly/3Yw1UNR

Sinonasal malignancies make up less than 5% of all head and neck cancers, a small number compared with the hundreds of thousands of patients diagnosed with more common cancers. However, the unique challenges of sinonasal tumors are outsized — making it pivotal for patients with these cancers to be seen at large tertiary care centers, says Johns Hopkins sinus and skull base surgeon Nyall London. Johns Hopkins is one of the highest volume centers in the nation for these conditions. https://bit.ly/4ceIcJr

Between 1990 and 1994, 400 members of the Havasupai Indigenous tribe donated blood samples to researchers at the Arizona State University (ASU) Diabetes Project. However, participants later discovered that their DNA had been used in several unrelated genetic studies, many of which dove into topics that directly contradicted the Havasupai culture. In 2004, tribal members filed a lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents and ASU. This was a moment of reckoning for the biomedical community. But how has this case influenced the bioethics of genomic research in the last 20 years, and how do researchers guarantee genomic justice today? https://bit.ly/4d3HjF4
