Georgia Institute of TechnologyHang Lu · Professor and Cecil J. "Pete" Silas Chair of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering
How can microfluidic and BioMEMS technologies enable high-throughput biological experiments and quantitative behavior measurements? The lab engineers microfluidic devices and BioMEMS to study neuroscience, genetics, cancer biology, and systems biology. Researchers develop image-based, high-throughput screening and machine-vision tools for cell and whole-organism phenotyping. Methods combine microdevices, optical stimulation/recording, automation, and big-data analysis to extract quantitative biological dynamics. Projects apply these tools to developmental neurobiology, behavioral neurobiology, stem cells, and cancer immunology studies.
Jeffrey Skolnick Research Group
Georgia Institute of TechnologyJeffrey Skolnick · Regents' Professor; Mary and Maisie Gibson Chair & GRA Eminent Scholar in Computational Systems Biology
How can protein structure prediction and systems-level models be used to predict cellular behavior and identify druggable targets? The CE lab develops computational methods to predict protein tertiary and quaternary structure and assign enzyme functions from sequence. Researchers build tools for functional genomics, metabolic pathway assignment, and drug discovery by predicting small-molecule ligands and druggable protein targets. Methods include large-scale simulation, bioinformatics pipelines, and equilibrium/dynamic modeling of membranes and assemblies. Projects extend to cancer metabolomics and simulation of virtual cells using computational systems-biology approaches.

Georgia Institute of TechnologyRaheem A. Beyah · Provost & Exec VP for Acad Aff Endowed Chair and Professorships Titles Southern Company Chair
How can cyber-physical systems be protected from coordinated attacks that exploit both network and physical dynamics? The Cyber-Physical Security Lab develops detection and mitigation methods for attacks on critical infrastructure and embedded systems. The group studies privacy, network monitoring, and performance trade-offs to detect anomalous behavior in real-time systems. Researchers use systems-level experiments and monitoring tools to evaluate resilience and recovery mechanisms. The team applies these methods to industrial control and networked devices to improve operational security.
Independently curated · UnclaimedSteve Diggle Research Group
Georgia Institute of TechnologySteve Diggle · Professor and Director of the Center for Microbial Dynamics & Infection
How do bacterial communication systems drive cooperative behaviors that promote chronic infection and treatment failure in the cystic fibrosis lung? The Diggle Lab studies quorum sensing pathways and bacteriocins to identify signals controlling biofilm formation and virulence. The group experimentally perturbs microbial interactions and social behaviors to measure effects on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. Researchers model microbial group dynamics within the Center for Microbial Dynamics & Infection across systems ranging from coral reefs to cystic fibrosis lung infections. Methods combine genetic, chemical and ecological approaches to reveal targets for therapeutic interventions that reduce virulence or resistance.
Independently curated · UnclaimedYoung-Hui Chang Research Group
Georgia Institute of TechnologyYoung-Hui Chang · Professor of Biological Sciences
How do animals use neural control and biomechanics to produce stable locomotion across varied terrains and perturbations? The Comparative Neuromechanics Laboratory measures neuromechanical interactions during locomotion in humans and other animals to identify control strategies and environment coupling. The group performs comparative experiments across species to link biomechanics, neural signaling, and motor control mechanisms. Researchers integrate physiological, biomechanical, and environmental measurements to study adaptation and motor learning after acute and chronic changes. The team studies motor learning processes relevant to clinical rehabilitation and elite sports performance.
