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

Integrated Cancer Research Center (ICRC) Symposium
We are at a truly exciting crossroads in the history of cancer research: Molecular biology, the computational sciences, engineering, and nanotechnology are joining together in a unified effort to develop more effective cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
The benefits of this integrated approach are only beginning to be realized. The number of new technologies and devices arising from the fields of biomedical engineering and nanotechnology that have potential application to cancer biology is unprecedented.
The second annual ICRC symposium at Georgia Tech will showcase recent advances in cancer nanotechnology by national and international experts in the field. Pre-registration is not required but space is limited. Please come early and participate in discussions with leaders in the field.
