A conversation with Renee Wegrzyn and Kimberley Steele
The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine welcomed Renee Wegrzyn, director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), and Kimberley Steele, ARPA-H Program Manager for Health Science Futures, on Tuesday, April 30. They joined School of Medicine Dean Theodore DeWeese a virtual fireside chat to discuss the role of ARPA-H in advancing health equity and accelerating health outcomes. Established in 2022, ARPA-H advances high-potential, high-impact biomedical and health research that cannot be readily accomplished through traditional research or commercial activity.
