There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Bone Tissue Engineering Utilizing Adult Stem Cells
This talk will focus on utilizing adult stem cells from various sources for bone tissue engineering. Areas of emphasis will include cell source considerations, delivery methods, and timing of delivery for positive therapeutic outcomes.

Competing Signals Drive Telencephalon Diversity
Despite extensive study, it isn’t understood how evolution has sculpted the telencephalon in distinct lineages. Lake Malawi cichlid fishes show differences in telencephalon patterning between two ecotypes. We demonstrate that timing of opposing developmental signals establish this divergence and can be artificially manipulated to mimic natural differences. Competing signals in telencephalon development may drive the evolution of novel morphology.
The Graduate and Post-Doc (GaP) Seminar Series is a weekly event of research presentations by two graduate students or post-docs conducting bio-related research. The series is organized and sponsored by the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) with additional support from the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. It is held every Wednesday at 12:00pm in IBB 1128 and refreshments are provided. If your research group or department would like to present at future seminars, please contact Manu Platt, PhD.
