IEEE Pulse. 2024 Jan-Apr;15(1):15-19. doi: 10.1109/MPULS.2024.3370450.

Abstract

The Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) has established a comprehensive approach to addressing global health challenges. Central to CBID's modality on global health is a strategy that integrates education, research, and collaboration. Through its graduate program, CBID trains the next generation of health care innovators to address the specific needs of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Graduate student teams at CBID begin their year with a focus on a health care thematic area associated with a target country.
