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

Dr. Ferrara will discuss her work in image-guided drug delivery, including:
- synthesis of drug-loaded nanoparticles
- development of imaging systems for guided interventions
- development of protocols using nanotechnologies for the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease and
- neurodegenerative diseases
Dr. Ferrara served as the founding chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UC Davis. She is currently a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at UC Davis with research interests in imaging and drug delivery. She is a fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society, the Acoustical Society of America and the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering and is currently a member of the National Advisory Council for the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.
