Welcome

People talking about a presentation.

We are pleased to have you join us for the 13th annual Medical Student Research Symposium of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. As clinicians in training, we are fortunate to work among faculty who conduct a broad range of investigation that yields advances in the knowledge of human health. For the past thirteen years, we have been privileged to have an event that presents the extensive endeavors that students take to advance this mission at the school.

The mission of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is to educate medical students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows in accordance with the highest professional standards; to prepare clinicians to practice patient-centered medicine of the highest standard; and to identify and answer fundamental questions in the mechanisms, prevention and treatment of disease, in health care delivery and in the basic sciences.

The Medical Student Research Symposium is a forum for medical students at Johns Hopkins to present their own research to the greater Hopkins community. It is an opportunity for students to participate in the exchange of intellectual ideas in a professional format and meet faculty who relish the pursuit of better science and more effective medicine. Our mission is for the Medical Student Research Symposium to foster the development of young researchers who will aid in the advancement of scientific medicine for years to come.

Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Equity in Health and Healthcare
Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity
Director, Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute

Dr. Lisa Cooper is a Liberian-born general internist, social epidemiologist, and health services researcher. As the Director of the Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute, Dr. Cooper leads the Institute in its mission to advance health and health equity across Baltimore City. Dr. Cooper is also the James F. Fries Professor of Medicine and Bloomberg Distinguished Professor for Equity in Health and Health Care in the Johns Hopkins University Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health. She is the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, where she and her transdisciplinary team work with stakeholders, from healthcare and the community implement rigorous clinical trials, identifying interventions that alleviate racial and income disparities in social determinants and health outcomes.

Dr. Cooper was one of the first scientists to document disparities in the quality of relationships between physicians and patients from socially at-risk groups. She then designed innovative interventions targeting physicians’ communication skills, patients’ self-management skills, and healthcare organizations’ ability to address needs of populations experiencing health disparities. Dr. Cooper has received several honors for her pioneering research, teaching, and mentoring, including a 2007 MacArthur Fellowship, membership in the National Academy of Medicine, the Association of American Medical Colleges Herbert W. Nickens Award Herbert W. Nickens Award for outstanding contributions to social justice in medical education and equity in healthcare in the United States and theAmerican Public Health Association Helen Rodríguez-Trìas Social Justice Award. She has also been recognized by several community organizations locally and nationally for her community engagement and advocacy to address health disparities.

Presentation Examples

Microscopic view of canine osteosarcoma
Canine osteosarcoma viewed from my microscope.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I spent months learning pathology virtually. Research drew me into the hospital sign-out room, where I had hands-on experience reviewing slides on a multi-headed scope with direct interaction with faculty role models. Delving into independent research helped me gain this new perspective.
Microscopic view of pancreatic cancer colonizing ampullary epithelium from a Whipple specimen
Pancreatic cancer colonizing ampullary epithelium from a Whipple specimen.
I had assisted in 10-hour long Whipple procedures, shadowed oncologists giving chemotherapy to patients, and researched the effects of experimental immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer as a medical student. It is unbelievable how well-connected the hospital is to labs at Johns Hopkins.
