Frameshift is an academic initiative that combines an entrepreneurial spirit and translational growth environment to develop new therapies rapidly using immunoengineering technologies. This initiative showcases innovative biological advances at the intersection of immunology, engineering, and medicine.
This in-person three-day event that will teach trainees about Johns Hopkins Translational Immunoengineering technologies and potential applications, provide hands-on experience with relevant techniques, and develop new ideas about the application of these technologies in a team-based, hackathon-style competition. The workshop will be split into two portions. The first is seminars and hands-on lab demonstrations where participants will experience how to synthesize and use core TR&D platforms. The second is an entrepreneurial showcase where participants create and pitch a novel immunoengineering solution using a combination of the TR&D technologies.
Target Audience
Postdoctoral scholars and candidates pursuing research-intensive and clinically focused advanced degrees, including but not limited to those in Ph.D., M.D., and PharmD granting programs.

Every summer the INBT welcomes undergraduate students to the Nanotechnology for Biology and Bioengineering Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Students spend 9-10 weeks with INBT faculty and mentors heavily engaged in research projects ranging from developing cancer therapies and diagnostic tools to using regenerative engineering to heal the body. They also participate in professional development training, networking activities, and explore Baltimore and other surrounding cities. We welcome you to join us to see presentations by our 2024 summer students as they showcase their research projects.
This event is hybrid and space is limited in the Shriver Clipper Room. If space is unavailable please join by Zoom.

The Institute for NanoBioTechnology collaborates with major industry partners to offer a Cooperative (Co-Op) Education program for masters of science in engineering (MSE) students. The program provides MSE students career training while employed 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.
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.
Interested in volunteering to distribute foods on November 22? Register today!
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.
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.
More information to come.
