The Advances in Immunoengineering: Fundamentals and Cutting Edge Advances workshop is hosted by Johns Hopkins Translational Immunoengineering, The Johns Hopkins Translational Tissue Engineering Center, and The Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology.
The immunoengineering field is transforming cancer, autoimmunity, regeneration, and transplantation treatments by combining the diverse and complex fields of engineering and immunology. There is a significant need to train engineers in immunology and immunologists in quantitative engineering techniques. Moreover, there is a need to bridge basic immunological discoveries with advances in clinical application. This workshop features 12 speakers that will review immune system fundamentals and components, engineering strategies to modulate the immune system, and clinical applications.
After attending this workshop, the learner will demonstrate the ability to:
– Review the fundamentals and recent discoveries in the function of the immune system.
– Identify engineering strategies to manipulate the immune system.
– Describe the clinical applications of immunoengineering.
The full schedule, speakers, topics, and registration information are available on JH-TIE’s website.
Participants are eligible for CME credit. The workshop is also offered as a one-credit course to Johns Hopkins students.
Applications are due February 1, 2026 and must be submitted on the National Science Foundation ETAP platform. Applications submitted through Handshake will not be considered.
More information about the program, application materials, student experiences, FAQs, and more are available here.
Join the community at the Whiting School of Engineering for Engineers Week, a national, annual celebration of the vital contributions that engineers make to the world.
Transform Your Future: Celebrate Engineers Week 2026
From the devices in our pockets to the bridges we drive across, from clean water systems to lifesaving medical innovations, engineering touches every part of our lives. That’s why each year, Engineers Week is a time to celebrate the people who make all this possible—and to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.
This year’s theme, Transform Your Future, is a powerful reminder that engineering doesn’t just shape our world—it shapes our opportunities, our communities, and the futures we can imagine for ourselves and our children.
And it starts with you.
Why Engineers Week Matters
Engineers Week (February 22─28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone. When students see how engineering can make a real difference—and when they see people who look like them in those roles—they begin to believe: this could be my future, too.
To broaden the opportunities for Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) students in the Whiting School of Engineering, the Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) collaborates with major industry partners to offer a credited and paid co-op opportunity to MSE students in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChemBE), Materials Science and Engineering (MatSci), and Mechanical Engineering (MechE) programs. MSE students pursuing the essay-based track in these programs can apply to participate in the INBT Master’s Co-Op Program as an alternative to conducting research in JHU laboratories.
Design Day is the Whiting School’s premier event that showcases Hopkins engineering students’ work. Students implement their classroom knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving skills to develop inventions and processes that solve real-world problems and create a better future.
This event is open to all! We welcome faculty, staff, other students, and the public. Enjoy more than 200 student presentations, posters, and demos representing every academic department at the Whiting School, and speak with students about their work. For more information, visit the Design Day website, where you also can see examples of last year’s projects.
#JHUDesignDay26
The Institute for NanoBioTechnology will celebrates two decades of cutting-edge research at the interface of nanotechnology, biology, and engineering at our 2026 annual symposium. This year’s theme, “Engineering the Future of Life and Health,” highlights how INBT’s multidisciplinary community continues to pioneer technologies that reshape human health and medicine, from molecular design and cellular programming to human health and performance. The symposium will feature sessions led by INBT faculty representing our five research pillars—cancer, sensing, aging, genome engineering, and cell programming—showcasing cutting-edge advances and future directions that define the next era of convergent bioengineering.
All are welcome to attend our 19th Nano-Bio Symposium on the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus. This event will include lectures, a poster competition, and networking reception.
More information to come, but learn about our symposium’s history.
