The excitement of discovery and medical innovation is a prime animating force at Johns Hopkins. Daily, colleagues come together to explore new ideas and to cross-fertilize ongoing research. Hopkins' basic scientists uncover the underlying mechanisms and elements of life and health, while Hopkins' clinical scientists develop new knowledge, techniques and technologies for patient care. Thanks to their creative research, the School of Medicine receives more National Institutes of Health funding than any other medical school. Today, Hopkins faculty are among the pioneers of the new science of molecular genetics. Recent discoveries that probe, analyze and manipulate genes now point the way to a second century of unprecedented medical progress. Pathbreaking work at Johns Hopkins is producing promising results for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, heart and pulmonary diseases, emotional and neurological disorders and many other medical problems. Discovery and technological innovation are only the first steps toward improved patient care. It's equally important to ensure that research advances move effectively from the laboratory to the bedside. The School of Medicine has become a leader in technology transfer, creating model conflict-of-interest policies that allow productive and ethical collaboration between Hopkins researchers and private industry. Discovery, innovation, excitement, application: These are the hallmarks of Johns Hopkins research.
