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

Researchers discussing opportunities in biomanufacturing
The manufacturing of biological products such as tissues, cells, small molecules, therapeutic proteins, vaccines, and biologic delivery devices is currently highly inefficient with little to no automation and generates tremendous waste products.
Georgia Tech was a founding member of President Obama’s Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP 1.0) initiative. Biomanufacturing was one of the top cross-cutting technologies specifically identified by the AMP 1.0 steering committee.
Georgia Tech is uniquely positioned for a major initiative focused on biomanufacturing because of its combined strengths in manufacturing, bioengineering, robotics and systems engineering.
All interested parties are welcomed to attend, this includes faculty, graduate students and post-docs.
