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

Every year since, the F.L. “Bud” Suddath Memorial Award has been given to a Ph.D. student who has at least one year remaining in his or her program and who has demonstrated a significant research achievement in biology, biochemistry, or biomedical engineering. This year, that student is Jordan Ciciliano, who earned the top prize in the 2016 Suddath Award competition.
Ciciliano is a bioengineering student whose home school is the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering. She’s a member of Wilbur Lam’s lab in the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, where her research interests are biomechanics, diagnostics, microfluidics, hematology, and oncology.
As winner of the $1,000 top prize, her name will be engraved on the award plaque and she’ll deliver a presentation on her research, entitled, “Developing microfluidic approaches to solve longstanding hematologic questions," at the Suddath Symposium (Feb. 11-12 at the Petit Institute).
