Exercise is good for you. To understand why, MoTrPAC scientists are creating a whole-body map of molecular responses to endurance training — finding striking “all tissue effects” in a new set of studies, featured on the May cover of the journal Nature.
Using artificial intelligence, the team is developing an edible vaccine that could protect birds from bird flu and reduce its spread to livestock and humans.
Housley and his team are developing self‑assembling nanohydrogels that deliver cancer drugs only when they reach tumor‑specific conditions, aiming to reduce side effects and make treatment more precise across multiple cancer types.
When Postdoctoral Research Fellow Hannah Youngblood’s work on exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) was featured by the BrightFocus Foundation, it caught the attention of Jennifer Rucker, an Alabama resident who was diagnosed with XFG several years ago.
Faculty at Georgia Tech use their expertise in engineering, math, and computer science to apply common principles of these disciplines to neuroscience research.
