The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University is the leading department of Biomedical Engineering in the USA today ranked number one by US News [1] as a graduate program for the past 30 years since it's inception in 1967. The current faculty is around 50 members including the Pioneer of Epigenomics Andrew Feinberg (geneticist)[2] having discovered epigenetic alterations in human cancer with Bert Vogelstein in 1983, the Pioneer Taekjip Ha of modern nano-technologies for visualizing the movement of single molecules [3][4][5] including optical tweezers [6][7], the Pioneer Michael I. Miller of Computational Anatomy a modern theory of shape and form, the Pioneering computational genomist Steven Salzberg, the Neuroengineer Xiaoqin Wang [8] who first showed the representation of pitch in primary auditory cortex, the Pioneer of Computational Medicine[9] Raimond Winslow [10].

History

[edit]

Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University was first established in 1946 as a Division of Biomedical Engineering within the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine .

The PhD program began in the early 60's as the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine with Samuel Talbot [13] as the head. Richard J. Johns [14] lead the department from 1965-1991 and is the individual credited with leading the discipline nationwide into the 21st Century. Richard Johns was a colleague and contemporary of the core leaders in the School of Medicine including the then Director of Medicine A. McGehee Harvey [15] and Richard Ross [16] the then Dean of Medicine and with whom Johns wrote the most influential book of their time for training Medical students in Internal Medicine entitled the Principles and Practices of Internal Medicine [17].

During this period Richard Johns articulated the need for the modern field of Systems Biology coining the term "Systems Biology"in an Annual Report within BME in 1972-1973. During this period the program was only a graduate program in the School of Medicine. In 1981, Richard Johns and David VandeLinde the then Dean of the Whiting School of Engineering launched the start of the undergraduate program at the Homewood campus. The first undergraduate program director was Eric D. Young.[18]

The Founders of the Department of Biomedical Engineering were leaders in the earliest era of Computational Neuroscience including in the Auditory Cortex Moise H. Goldstein, Jr. [19] and Murray B. Sachs [20] and Eric D. Young [21], and in the somatosensory system Ken Johnson [22], in the occulomotor system David A. Robinson [23], in the Cardiovascular system founding pioneers included Artin Shoukas [24], Kiichi Sagawa [25], and Lawrence Schramm [26].
