Johns Hopkins was the nation’s first research university, founded on the express purpose of “expanding knowledge and putting that knowledge to work for the good of humanity.” The university’s annual research budget is more than $1.4 billion, making Johns Hopkins the United States’ largest recipient of research funding.
Since 1914, engineers at Johns Hopkins have maintained an interdisciplinary research tradition, collaborating across the boundaries of departments, disciplines, and divisions.
Today the Whiting School includes more than 20 established research centers and institutes in addition to laboratories, and the school’s faculty and students work routinely with colleagues from Johns Hopkins Schools of Arts and Sciences, Medicine, and Public Health and with academic and research institutions throughout the world.

"Our team wants to break surgical procedures down to simple gestures" Greg Hager says, "that can be represented mathematically by computer software." By doing so, researchers will be able to recognize how well individual surgeries are performed and improve the quality and outcomes of surgical procedures.
