In May 2022, thirty-eight early career faculty members were selected to receive Johns Hopkins Catalyst Awards, an honor that is accompanied by a $75,000 grant, mentoring opportunities, and institutional recognition.
This year’s Catalyst Awardees will investigate a host of novel research areas including developing new measures to better advance indigenous health research, redefining laser safety for photoacoustic-guided liver surgery, exploring Asian identity and representation on the American opera stage, identifying the long-term impacts of chemical warfare survivors, and studying conserved cellular and molecular mechanisms governing organ size in skin to ultimately create high-quality, functional skin on demand.
These experts represent twenty-nine departments—including Anthropology, Biostatistics, Comparative Thought and Literature, Environmental Health and Engineering, Music Theory, Otolaryngology, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
