Congratulations to our very own Dr. Sarah Horst for being selected to receive Johns Hopkins Catalyst Award.

In July 2017, thirty-four 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. Recipients include faculty composing new musical work inspired by undiscovered islands, studying blindness to better understand human brain plasticity, and simulating the atmospheres of exoplanets to predict their habitability. Others are investigating treatments and interventions for depression, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV, and Alzheimer’s disease.
