Biomedical Imaging and Bioinformatics/Biomedical Systems Analysis

BME Biomedical Imaging and InformaticsImaging - 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.
