Karen Fleming, professor in the Department of Biophysics, was awarded the prestigious Provost’s Prize for Faculty Excellence in Diversity. The prize began as part of the Faculty Diversity Initiative and celebrates faculty work that promotes understanding of and solidarity for the confluence of cultures that embody the global world, and for the contribution of the […]

One of three Hopkins students named Goldwater Scholars: Kathy Le is a first-generation college student studying biophysics, a discipline the junior says has the potential solve some of the world’s greatest biomedical problems. In the lab of Erika Matunis at the School of Medicine, Le has researched stem cell competition in the Drosophila melanogaster testis to […]

Melissa Mai, who will graduate next month with a bachelor’s degree in biophysics and mathematics, will head to Harvard University this fall to begin working toward her PhD in biophysics as a Hertz Graduate Fellow, an exclusive national award that recognizes outstanding physical, biological, and engineering science students who demonstrate the potential to change the […]

Chloe Pacyna is one of two Johns Hopkins University seniors heading to the UK to complete graduate studies after being named Marshall Scholar. Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom. Up to forty Scholars are selected each year to study at graduate level at an UK […]

Assistant Professor, Biophysics, received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award from the chemistry division for her project “Developing reaction-diffusion models of non-equilibrium virion assembly and budding.”

Two Johns Hopkins undergraduate students, Vinay Ayyappan and Melissa Mai, are among 50 individuals from 36 U.S. universities to earn Astronaut Scholarships in recognition of their academic merit and promise in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. Read more in The Hub.

Prof. Barrick’s book provides a comprehensive, contemporary introduction to developing a quantitative understanding of how biological macromolecules behave using classical and statistical thermodynamics. Dr. Barrick focuses on practical skills needed to apply the underlying equations in real life examples. The text develops mechanistic models, showing how they connect to thermodynamic observables, presenting simulations of thermodynamic […]
