Description

Please join RGPN McNair at our November Saturday Academy Workshop on Bringing Scholarship to Real Life!

Dr. Youseph Yazdi is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Executive Director of the Center for Bioengineering Innovation & Design (CBID) at Johns Hopkins, where he leads students through translating classroom and laboratory insights into real-world medical technologies. Under his direction, CBID has become a model for experiential education immersing students in clinical environments, guiding them from needs-finding through design, validation, and commercialization, and producing devices that are now improving care in settings around the world. His prior experience guiding early-stage healthcare innovation at Johnson & Johnson, combined with his role directing the Coulter Translational Research Partnership, gives him a rare end-to-end view of how scholarship becomes practice.
