Signing Ceremony: Edward & Jennifer St. John Center for Translational Engineering and Medicine
A signing ceremony on Jan. 10, 2025, marked the announcement of a $10 million joint gift from Edward and Jennifer St. John and the Edward St. John Foundation, which will establish the Edward & Jennifer St. John Center for Translational Engineering and Medicine (CTEM).The new center brings together researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) at UMB and the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP). Occupying the fourth floor of 4MLK at the University of Maryland BioPark, CTEM will foster face-to-face collaboration among clinicians and engineers.Their proximity will ensure that real-world clinical needs inform the creation of new devices, diagnostics, and treatments, accelerating the pathway from research to patient care – resulting in next-generation medical solutions that will benefit patients across Maryland and beyond.Read More: https://www.umaryland.edu/news/archived-news/january-2025/10m-gift-to-power-innovations-for-next-gen-care.php
