Faculty Search 2010

Mission Statement

Our mandate is to further basic science knowledge that is relevant to public health and to the core mission of our home, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH). In keeping with the wonderful motto of JHSPH, we seek knowledge at the cellular level that can "save lives, millions at a time."

The focus of our research activities, past and present, includes cellular stress responses, DNA replication and repair pathways (genome integrity), cancer, aging and reproductive biology. Owing to recent successes with faculty recruitment, we have now expanded our expertise and activities in structural biology, malaria, molecular nutrition, stem cells and chronic diseases. For the upcoming faculty recruitment effort, we are interested in any research that is relevant to core public health issues, particularly in the areas of cancer biology and genome biology.
