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

Professor Greg Gibson (Biology) has received a 1 year pilot grant from the AFLAC Cancer Center for “Genomic profiling of late outcomes in survivors of childhood cancer". The study involves a collaboration with Drs. Ann Mertens and Karen Wasilewski in the Department of Hematology/Oncology at Emory University, and Dr. Ken Brigham, Director of the Center for Health Discovery and Well Being (CHDWB) at Emory. The objective of the project is to use a systems biology approach to try to understand why so many survivors of early childhood cancers begin to have a range of serious health problems as they reach adulthood, and to see if the CHDWB health care model might be an effective intervention.
