Johns Hopkins President William R. Brody announced at an October 28 dinner for alumni and benefactors that the Knowledge for the World campaign goal has been raised to $3.2 billion, saying that society faces formidable new challenges and more than ever needs what Hopkins produces: discoveries that make a difference.
In an e-mail announcement sent to the Hopkins community, Brody identified nanobiotechnology as a new opportunity to apply the knowledge developed at Hopkins to benefit humankind. “We live in a new world where we stand to reap almost unthinkably large benefits from the exploration of the almost immeasurably small,“ he wrote. “Johns Hopkins must be a leader in nanobiotechnology.“
