Join the community at the Whiting School of Engineering during the week of February 19 through 23 for Engineers Week, a national, annual celebration of the vital contributions that engineers make to the world.
Agenda
Aerospace and Aviation – Monday, February 19
WSE’s 14th Annual Speed Networking Night- Tuesday, February 20
Society of Women Engineer’s Tower of Power – Wednesday, February 21
Night at the Museum for WSE Graduate Students – Thursday, February 22
Career Fair – Friday, February 23
Scientists and engineers across many fields and disciplines are united by their work at the nanoscale. Their diverse efforts have helped produce everything from faster microchips to powerful mRNA vaccines. The transformative impact of this work has been spurred by the coordination and focus on U.S. nanotechnology established by the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act in 2003. Celebrating such a broad impact and envisioning the future can be quite challenging, but this event will bring together voices from across the emerging technology landscape. There will be experts who can speak on the importance of nanotechnology in quantum engineering, optics, EHS, plastics, DEIA, microelectronics, medicine, education, manufacturing, and more. We can’t predict what will emerge from this lively discussion between researchers, policymakers, members of industry, educators, and the public, but the conversation can only benefit from including more diverse perspectives – especially yours.
The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Department of Radiology and the KKI F.M. Kirby Research Center invite you to their first locoregional MPI Workshop, organized by Adnan Bibic and Jeff W.M. Bulte, where they will discuss the opportunities that Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) can provide for molecular, cellular, and functional imaging of biological processes in living organisms.
This event serves two purposes:
1. Introduction to MPI: They will provide an overview of the emerging MPI technology and what it can do that other non-invasive imaging modalities cannot.
2. Sharing Insights: Existing users will present their cutting-edge research findings, with the goal to foster new collaborations and generating new ideas. Interested people from other institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region have been invited to participate.
What is MPI?
MPI is an emerging non-invasive imaging technique that directly detects magnetic nanoparticles acting as a “cold” tracer imaging agent. Similar to “hot” radiotracers used in nuclear medicine, it is quantitative providing specific information without background signal. It is ultra-sensitive, currently used here in rodents, and in further clinical development elsewhere.
What to Expect
1. Research Showcases: Hear about the latest advancements in MPI research.
2. Networking Opportunities: Connect with the regional MPI community.
3. Q&A Session: Engage with experts and share your thoughts.
4. Hands-On Demos: Experience MPI firsthand through demonstrations.
Registration
Join in person or stream online. Register by March 8, 2024 to secure your in-person spot. They have a maximum of 40 participants. If you can’t make it in person, all registered participants will be able to stream in except for the hands-on demo. Contact adnan.bibic@jhmi.edu to register.

Jordan J. Green is a professor of biomedical engineering, ophthalmology, oncology, neurosurgery, materials science and engineering, and chemical and biomolecular engineering. He currently serves as the vice chair for research and translation in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and previously served as the director of the undergraduate biomedical engineering program. He is the director of the Biomaterials and Drug Delivery Lab, the founding associate director of the Translational Tissue Engineering Center, and the founding associate director of the NCBIB Johns Hopkins Translational Immunoengineering Center. He is also an associate researcher in the Institute for NanoBioTechnology.
His research focuses on the design of biotechnologies for cellular engineering. Green and his lab design and synthesize new biomaterials and nanoparticle systems that can deliver biomolecules such as nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, sugars, and small molecules specifically to various cell types, including cancer cells, immune cells, and stem cells. His lab works to create innovative technologies and therapeutics that can directly benefit human health.
RSVP required for in person attendance. The event will be available via livestream for those unable to attend in person.
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.
#JHUDesignDay24
All are welcome to attend our 17th Nano-Bio Symposium on RNA Innovations. All are welcome to attend our 17th Nano-Bio Symposium on RNA Innovations. Innovations in RNA biology and therapeutics show immense potential in transforming the landscape of medical research and biotechnology development. RNA, particularly messenger RNA (mRNA), has emerged as a groundbreaking tool and is revolutionizing the way researchers and clinicians approach medicine. This year’s symposium will explore the unprecedented possibilities of RNA innovations and its novel therapeutic avenues. We welcome experts, researchers, and enthusiasts to join us as we converge to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and delve into the latest advancements so that our collective efforts advance the full potential of RNA-based technologies and shape the future of healthcare and biomedicine.
This is event will feature guest speakers and a poster competition with a reception. Registration is required.
