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

Georgia Tech/Emory biomedical engineering assistant professor Manu Platt (standing) and graduate student Keon-Young Park examine gels that display the activity levels of cathepsins--protein-degrading enzymes known to accelerate atherosclerosis, osteoporosis and cancer. In a new study, the researchers developed a technique to predict from a blood sample the amount of cathepsins a specific person would produce. (Georgia Tech Photo: Gary Meek)
