Pediatric intensive-care specialist Kenneth Brady, M.D.,
of the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, has been named Innovator
of the Year for 2007 in the Maryland Daily Record’s annual
selection of individuals whose groundbreaking work has improved
their industries, businesses or communities.
Brady, an assistant professor in the Division of Pediatric
Critical Care and Anesthesiology, received the award for
his work on a monitor that tracks blood flow changes in
the brains of children with serious brain injuries. The
monitor, currently in the testing phase, would allow doctors
to spot and prevent changes in blood flow that can cause
life-threatening strokes and bleeding in the brain.
Brady is one of 24 Marylanders who made this year’s
list and will receive the award at a ceremony on Oct. 10.
