Congratulations to our seven QBioS doctoral students who were selected for 2020 student awards.
The interdisciplinary doctoral program in Quantitative Biosciences welcomes its sixth cohort to Georgia Tech.
Congratulations to 2022 QBioS graduates, Pedro Marquez Zacarias and Daniel Muratore, selected for Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Santa Fe Institute.
Viruses play an important role in shaping human and environmental health. Joshua Weitz, School of Biological Sciences professor and Tom and Marie Patton Chair, has been named a Simons Investigator for his theoretical work on microbial and viral…
While there has been extensive research into the biomechanics of falls, most current approaches study how the legs, joints, and muscles act separately to respond, rather than as a system.
There are species of lizards that have long, snakelike bodies, and limbs so tiny even scientists have wondered about their purpose. Understanding how these hybrid-looking lizards move could provide insight into why an evolutionary transition from…
Beam me up, Scotty! Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology offer a new method to disrupt spiral waves that uses less energy and that may be less painful than traditional defibrillation.
Since 2017, the annual Quantitative Biosciences Hands-On Modeling Workshop has introduced students and faculty of all skill levels and backgrounds to the use of computational modeling in studying biological systems. This summer, attendees and…
Congratulations to QBioS doctoral student, Cassie Shriver, who was awarded a Herbert P. Haley Fellowship for the 2022-2023 Academic Year.
Congratulations to QBioS doctoral student, Tucker Lancaster, who was awarded a 2022 Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
Mark E. Hay, Regents' Professor and Teasley Chair in Environmental Biology in the School of Biological Sciences, has been elected a member of both the National Academy of Sciences, as well as the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
Georgia Tech has received two Department of Defense (DoD) 2022 Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) awards totaling almost $14 million.
Congratulations to Pedro Marquez Zacarias.
A new study points to possible help for restoring marine ecosystems — and provides more data on the role microbes play in marsh plant health and productivity.
Because humans and animals breathe and metabolize oxygen, they generate a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS), or cell-damaging oxidants, as byproducts. Our bodies usually make enough antioxidants to counter that damage, but when that…
This article features the work of Professor Dan Goldman and QBioS students Kelimar Diaz and Baxi Zhong.
Congratulations to Hannah Choi, who was selected for a 2022 Sloan Research Fellowship in Neuroscience!
Researchers demonstrate that new physical theories provide precise predictions of the deformations of certain structures, revealing that a flexible mechanical structure is governed by some of the same math as electromagnetic waves and even black…
Congratulations to Athulya Ram who was recognized for diplomacy, interpersonal, and communication skills.
Congratulations to Rozenn Pineau, who was awarded this funding from the Society for the Study of Evolution
