Creating the medicine of tomorrow: ten hot Hopkins research areas today.
From its very beginnings, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine has fostered the development of physician scientists whose research and practice of medicine are closely intertwined. As a result, the long list of medical breakthroughs--of Hopkins "firsts"--has put the institution at the forefront of medical research in the past century. This tradition continues today, with research in many and diverse areas. Ten current projects underway at Hopkins, attempting to unravel mysteries in neurology, oncology, genetics, hematology, and nephrology, are described in this article. All hold promise to continue the reputation of Johns Hopkins as a leader in research, to become new milestones in the progress of modern medicine.
