Research and Development

The foundation of John Hopkins Medicine is research. “A mind-boggling and ever-expanding range of topics run from basic and clinical to translational research.  Basic research provides a fundamental understanding of molecules and mechanisms that, without offering any apparent practical avenue for patient treatment, involves identifying cellular processes and genetic mutations and revealing breakdowns in cellular communication associated with all manner of diseases and disorders” (Flickr.
