At Johns Hopkins, we…
…educate students. From the beginning, Johns Hopkins students and faculty have worked together on the most pressing and demanding issues in their disciplines.
…save lives and protect health. Our medical scientists and clinicians are decoding the genetic mysteries of cancer and fighting the AIDS pandemic. Our public health experts are developing a vaccine and new drugs to eradicate malaria worldwide and working on a vaccine for children that will reduce suffering and death from measles in developing countries.

Genetic engineering got its start at Johns Hopkins in the laboratories of Daniel Nathans and Hamilton Smith, who would go on to win a Nobel Prize for their discovery and use of restriction endonucleases, enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites so genes may be studied, sequenced, and even cloned.

…make the world a safer place. Threats of terrorism are only one of the global challenges that Johns Hopkins scholars confront. Other issues they address include threats to human health and safety, political and economic stability, environmental and climatic change, human rights, and the responsibilities of nations.
…advance the frontiers of knowledge. Astronomers, physicists, and earth scientists at Johns Hopkins look back millions or even billions of years to determine why our world and our universe look the way they do.
…improve the quality of life. Musicians and writers affiliated with Johns Hopkins open minds and enrich lives. Economists, sociologists, and political scientists examine and improve schools, businesses, and public institutions. Johns Hopkins engineers and nurses address issues as diverse as information security, pollution, safer construction techniques, patient safety, domestic violence, urban health, and disaster preparedness.
