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

Ali Fatih SariogluThe Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience recently got a little bigger, adding three new faculty members. Joining the interdisciplinary research community are James Chappuis, John Oshinski and Ali Fatih Sarioglu.
Chappuis is the founder, owner, senior surgeon and CEO of Orthopaedic & Spine Surgery of Atlanta (SpineCenterAtlanta), as well as a clinical instructor with Georgia Regents University in Augusta. He also has staff privileges with the Emory University Hospital Midtown. An author who has been published extensively, Dr. Chappuis is one of the nation’s thought leaders in his field, an inventor of surgical products who brings a clinician’s expertise to his extensive role as a researcher.
Oshinkski, based at Emory, is an associate professor in the Wallace Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (a partnership between Emory and the Georgia Institute of Technology). Oshinski is director of Emory’s MR (magnetic resonance) Research Division and co-director of the Center for Systems Imaging. His research focuses on developing imaging applications and techniques that impact disease diagnosis and patient care.
Sarioglu came to Georgia Tech last fall, when he joined the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering as an assistant professor, following a research fellowship at the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Sarioglu is interested in developing nano/micro-electromechanical systems (N/MEMS) based technologies for biomedical applications.
These three world-class researchers join an interdisciplinary team of now 165 faculty members at the Petit Institute, a catalyst for innovative bioengineering and bioscience research.
