Many years ago, Georgia Tech’s Office of the Executive Vice President (EVPR), the Institute for People and Technology (IPaT), and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) made a significant investment of people and resources to create a HIPAA compliant, highly secure, data-rich resource named the Protected Health Data Infrastructure (PHDI) which…
In the decade since Professor Gleb Yushin’s battery materials startup participated in Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center, investments in the company have rolled in — along with the first customers. Now the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is getting on board with Yushin’s Georgia Tech startup as part of federal efforts to…
Georgia Tech's School of Chemistry & Biochemistry conducts premier education and research in the chemical and biochemical sciences, with emphasis on interfaces with questions and applications in biology, materials, energy and sustainability, health care, and engineering. Its vision is to nurture and sustain excellence in…
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, has been used to immunize millions of people in just the past few years, leading the world out of a pandemic, and allowing researchers to consider other therapeutic targets for these flexible, effective drugs. Among the most likely targets for future mRNA therapies are the lungs, given the large number of pulmonary…
For decades, the U.S. energy generation, transmission, and distribution model has been developed and planned around large-scale power plants that combust fossil fuels to create power that is then transferred to population centers via a network of powerlines.With the recent and rapid growth of distributed renewable technologies — wind, solar, and…
The global demand for nanotechnologists is growing, and universities around the world are creating and expanding programs to educate the workforce of the future. This summer, Paul Joseph, a principal research scientist at the Georgia Tech Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN), spent two weeks at the Indian Institute of Information…
Gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel — the most commonly used transportation fuels — are among the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and their use is affecting the climate in significant and long-term ways. A new national report, however, provides a powerful toolkit to help researchers and policymakers better evaluate low-carbon technologies…
Miniature satellites known as CubeSats are taking on larger roles in space missions that might previously have been carried out by more expensive conventional spacecraft. Now, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are envisioning a still larger mission for CubeSats as airborne testbeds for technologies that are being developed for…
The University of Georgia (UGA) and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), in partnership with the Georgia Department of Public Health, have received a five-year, $17 million cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish a Pathogen Genomics Center of Excellence (PGCoE). The Center is intended to…
It was a simple idea — maybe even too simple to work. Research scientist James Ponder and a team of Georgia Tech chemists and engineers thought they could design a transparent polymer film that would conduct electricity as effectively as other commonly used materials, while also being flexible and easy to use at an industrial scale. They’d do it…
