Career and research
Bell joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins University as an interim assistant research professor. She works with the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics to develop systems that can control individual ultrasound and photoacoustic components. She is exploring various medical robots for treating and diagnosing medical conditions. She launched an online course, Introduction to Medical Imaging, on Udemy in 2015. That year she was awarded a National Institutes of Health K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award.{{Cite news|url=https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/profiles/results/directory/profile/10003470/muyinatu-bell|title=Muyinatu A.
