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

Summary Sentence: Ariel Knisss presenting
Full Summary: 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.

"A microfluidic approach for live single-cell mitochondrial ROS imaging"
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have critical roles in many cellular processes. Although most investigations of ROS measure global averages in the cell, ROS can be produced in distinct locations and have effects locally. Using a microfluidic platform for live single-cell imaging, mitochondrial ROS production can be monitored in both space and time in T cells. Using this systems biology approach, variability can be seen within a population.
