JHIBRG: Johns Hopkins Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Group

---

• Johns Hopkins Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Group (JHIBRG) is a research discussion group mainly composed of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Korean graduate students and post doctoral researchers (alumni) who are actively involved in biomedical research and bioengineering. We seek to address fundamental questions about biological complexity in an interdisciplinary manner. We meet every other Thursdays at 6:30 PM (Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, Ross Research Building Room 1003 or Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus, Clark Hall 110)
