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

A team of Georgia Tech researchers led by John F. McDonald, professor in the School of Biological Sciences, and colleagues from the Ovarian Cancer Institute are using ensemble-based machine learning algorithms to predict with high accuracy how patients will respond to cancer-fighting drugs. The results of their recent research were published in the Journal of Oncology Research. The researchers found an overall predictive accuracy of 91%.
