Join the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Office of Clinical Trials and the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research as we celebrate Clinical Trials Day 2026 — marking the anniversary of James Lind’s groundbreaking scurvy trial in 1747 and looking ahead to the next era of medical discovery. This year, we reflect not only on how far clinical research has come, but on the extraordinary possibilities that emerging technologies — including artificial intelligence — are opening up for patients and providers alike. Clinical Trials Day is a chance to honor everyone who makes this work possible: the clinician investigators, research staff and patient participants whose dedication drives science forward. Here’s to clinical research — and a healthier, smarter tomorrow. #ResearchSavesLives

Clinical Trials events will unfold over the months of May and June. The Office of Clinical Trials will host events on Wednesday, May 20, at locations across Johns Hopkins Medicine. Stop by to connect with Office of Clinical Trials staff, learn what’s new in the research landscape and pick up some great giveaways along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned clinical researcher, a staff member or a curious patient, there’s something here for you. Times and locations below.
