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

Research Horizons - Med Device - vaccine-delivery patch

The vaccine-delivery patch (left), based on hundreds of microscopic needles that dissolve into the skin, could allow individuals without medical training to painlessly administer vaccines. The hollow microneedle (right) is designed to effectively deliver drugs to the back of the eye. This device could benefit individuals with retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.
