 Imaging -
Imaging is critical
in advancing biomedical
research and improving
health care. Georgia
Tech has one of the
world's premier groups
in digital signal processing
as well as visualization.
Emory has longstanding
imaging expertise in
the cardiovascular
and neuroscience areas.
These combined resources
of Georgia Tech and
Emory enable leading
edge research and education
in imaging technology.
Bioinformatics and Biomedical Systems Analysis
-
Recent advances in molecular biology, genomics and proteomics have resulted in high-throughput technologies that generate vast amounts of data. In response, computational methods of bioinformatics are being developed to organize, mine, and interpret these data. Particular emphasis at Georgia Tech is placed on the development of probabilistic algorithms for identifying functionally important features of DNA and proteins, such as regulatory sites, mobile elements, and protein domains that were conserved throughout evolution. The bioinformatics methods are complemented with biomedical systems analyses that use a combination of experimental, mathematical, and computational methods to integrate multiple datasets. The results of this integration are models representing mathematically how cells and organisms function. These models have applications in drug development, metabolic engineering and many other areas where cells or organisms are manipulated toward a desired goal. The models also help to elucidate design and operating principles that explain why biological systems are organized and regulated in a particular fashion and not in some other fashion.
