Johns Hopkins University

Baltimore, Maryland is home to the Johns Hopkins Institution (JHU), a private research institution. The institution was named after its first sponsor, the American industrialist, and Quaker philanthropist Johns Hopkins, who founded it in 1876. The oldest research university in the nation is Johns Hopkins University. Hopkins' bequest of $7 million to build the institution was the largest philanthropic gift in US history at the time. Over the last three decades, the institution has led all US universities in annual research spending. The university is regarded as one of the best in the world.

The University has made significant contributions, including the development of genetic engineering and the authentication of the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as the invention of saccharine, CPR, and the supersonic ramjet engine. Johns Hopkins University's efforts have resulted in child safety restraint regulations, and the development of Dramamine, Mercurochrome, and rubber surgical gloves. The University has also made a contribution by developing a groundbreaking surgical treatment to fix cardiac abnormalities in infants. Because of the work and contributions of researchers at the university's nine academic divisions and Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University has been the US leader in federal R&D funding every year since 1979. Microlit is pleased to assist the university's research and development operations.
