The Institute for NanoBioTechnology is once again participating with the Johns Hopkins community in the Vernon Rice Memorial Holiday Turkey Program, which supports families in the Baltimore community.
Make a meaningful impact this holiday season by participating in the Vernon Rice Memorial Turkey Drive, the university’s annual initiative to support families in need. A $45 donation provides a turkey and basket of locally sourced vegetables. Hopkins is partnering with eight community organizations to distribute the food to community residents on November 22.
Last year, over 600 families received meals and essential personal care items through this program. This year, Hopkins aims to reach even more families. Please consider donating and sharing this important effort with others to help us make a difference. Make your donation today and learn more about the program. You can also read this story about the program by the Johns Hopkins Hub.

The Advances in Immunoengineering: Fundamentals and Cutting Edge Advances workshop is hosted by Johns Hopkins Translational Immunoengineering. The workshop meets twice a week for three weeks and participants are eligible for CME credit. The workshop is also offered as a one-credit course to Johns Hopkins students
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.
