Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences

The IBBS represents the basic research effort at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where faculty, fellows, postdocs and students and staff study some of the most exciting problems in biomedical science today.

Any type of research is possible in the IBBS -- in addition to our nine departments, we have several interdisciplinary research programs as well as translational and collaborative research across all basic and clinical departments.

Please join us and learn more about what's going on at the cutting edge of biomedical research.
