Two faculty members from the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University's Whiting School of Engineering recently received recognition for their work on projects that have significant applications in biology and life sciences.

Alexis Battle, an assistant professor, has been named a 2016 Searle Scholar. The honor recognizes the potential of researchers to make significant contributions to chemical and biological research over the course of their careers. Each Searle Scholar is awarded $300,000 in flexible funding to support his or her work over the next three years. This year, 15 scholars were selected from a pool of nearly 200 applicants.
