Our Research Program
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery maintains active research programs at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, the Good Samaritan Hospital, and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. The general thrust of the laboratories is the dissection of the mechanical-biological interactions that occur in regenerating bone and cartilage.
At the Johns Hopkins Hospital campus, the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery has 7,500 square feet of lab space in the Ross Research Building. It houses our oncology research program.
The O'Neill Labs facility at the Good Samaritan Hospital also covers 7,500 square feet.
The Instrument Development Laboratory is located on the Bayview Campus at the International Center for Orthopaedic Advancement.
Molecular biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, and biomechanical engineers are situated in our labs in an effort to foster maximal interdisciplinary exchanges and growth.
All residents spend 9 weeks during PGY3 year (encumbered with 4 weeks of night float) and 10 weeks for research in 4th year (wholly unencumbered). The residents can choose from among several projects that span a broad range of research interests. For those who are considering a career in academics, the opportunity to spend a longer period in the laboratory is both encouraged and supported.
