Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID)
The Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID) develops AI-powered tools that identify malaria-transmitting mosquitoes from photographs and rapidly deliver surveillance data to ministries of health to inform targeted mosquito control and malaria elimination strategies. Its U.S. R&D is based in Baltimore, Maryland, with technologies co-created in collaboration with field partners in Africa. Its malaria work spans the development and delivery stages, including LarvaCam, VectorCatch, and VectorCam. VectorCam is being scaled up in Uganda, with additional pilots underway in Cameroon, Kenya, Ghana, Zambia, and Colombia.
