Between a third and half of all soil carbon on Earth is stored in peatlands, but as temperatures warm, this carbon is in danger of being released. A new study is unearthing the ratio of carbon dioxide to methane released — because while both are…

Juntao He, a Ph.D. student in the group of Daniel Goldman, Professor in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech led a pair of research papers that paves the way to make these bots able to move faster and climb higher in challenging environments.…

This transformative addition is funded by a prestigious S10 Shared Instrumentation Grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Researchers in the School of Physics unravel the secrets of the centuries-old practice of knitting in a new study that explores the physics of ‘jamming’ — a phenomenon when soft or stretchy materials become rigid under low stress but soften under…

Approved by the Board of Regents in 2017, the B.S. in Neuroscience program is one of Georgia Tech’s fastest-growing majors with more than 500 students enrolled in 2024.

Jenny McGuire has been named a Teasley Professor, advancing Georgia Tech’s leadership in biodiversity research and climate resilience.

The award will support Kostka’s research on the role of marine plant microbiomes in coastal climate resilience in collaboration with Germany’s Max Planck Institute.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed an algorithm that helps AI models develop internal organization just like the human brain — boosting efficiency by 20 percent.

The award honors Professor Kamerlin’s “outstanding promise and resilience,” recognizing her achievements and contributions to the field of molecular bioscience in the face of significant challenges.

Freeman is one of only 10 Early Career Fellows honored by the Ecological Society of America this year for advancing the knowledge and application of ecological science in a way that strengthens the field and benefits communities and ecosystems.…

The work suggests that a protein fragment thought to be foundational for all life needed help.

Andrew McShan has been awarded a $1.4M NSF CAREER grant to research lipids, and how they interact with proteins in the body. Lipid-protein interactions play a key role in everything from immune responses to energy storage — and could be the…

Professor Emeritus Richard Nichols of the School of Biological Sciences has been recognized for his significant contributions to the field of motor control and learning.

Congratulations to our QBioS award recipients for 2024! Winners were recognized at our Winter Party in December. QBioS Awards are 100% Funded by Donations. …

Measles can damage the lungs and immune system, and also inflict permanent brain damage.

Georgia Tech scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab.

The Quantitative Biosciences Interdisciplinary PhD program at Georgia Tech is proud to introduce our newest graduate students…

A multidisciplinary team has discovered how lateral inhibition helps our brains process visual information, and it could expand our knowledge of sensory perception, leading to applications in neuro-medicine and artificial intelligence.

The Final SCMB Symposium is being held on April 10th – 11th, 2025 on Georgia Tech campus.
