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.
The immunoengineering field is transforming cancer, autoimmunity, regeneration, and transplantation treatments by combining the diverse and complex fields of engineering and immunology. This symposium will highlight some of the latest advances in immunoengineering with a focus on translational aspects of the field. It is also a celebration of Johns Hopkins Translational ImmunoEngineering Center renewal and its accomplishments.

The Institute for NanoBioTechnology collaborates with major industry partners to offer a Maters Cooperative (Co-Op) Education program for Johns Hopkins masters of science in engineering (MSE) students. The program provides MSE students career training while employed with an industry partner for six months where they gain work experience, network, and build technical and non-technical skills that prepares them for a competitive job market. Students receive a salary from the company while employed and college credit for completing the requirements.
Attend our information session to learn more about the program. Refreshments will be provided.

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 Masters Co-Op Program. Participating students work at a biotech or other engineering company for six months and receive full-time pay and credits equivalent to a year of academic research. They also build their professional network and gain technical and non-technical skills that prepare them for a competitive job market.
Current and prospective MSE students are welcome to join our information session to learn more about the program. Pizza and beverages will be provided.
All are welcome to attend our 18th Nano-Bio Symposium on Transforming Bioengineering Research with AI and Machine Learning. This is event will include lectures, a poster competition, and reception.
