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

Petit Institute researcher wins award from Emory School of Medicine
Lena Ting, Ph.D.
Hidden Gem Lena TingLena Ting, a resercher in the Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience and professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory, received a Hidden Gem Award from the Emory University School of Medicine. This award recognizes faculty members who have been nominated by their departments in recognition of their outstanding, but often unnoticed or unrecognized, contributions to Emory.
“She provides critical leadership for the Neuro-engineering center at Georgia Tech and Emory, and the Neuro community at Emory/Georgia Tech, especially in the ENTICe (Emory Neuromodulation and Innovation Center) and rehabilitative medicine,” said Ross Ethier, interim chair of the Coulter Department.
Ting’s neuromechanics lab uses a broad range of techniques from neuroscience, biomechanics, rehabilitation, robotics, and physiology to discover new principles of human movement. Discoveries made in her lab have facilitated advances in understanding movement disorders and in identifying mechanisms of rehabilitation.
In 2016, Ting was elected into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows. She was recognized for outstanding accomplishments in neuromechanics of muscle coordination for locomotion and balance. The AIMBE College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers in the country.
