Petit Institute of Bioengineering and Bioscience has added four new faculty members to its growing throng of researchers working on the cutting edge. Three of the new research institute members are based at the Georgia Institute of Technology, one at Emory University.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EConstantine Dovrolis, a professor in the School of Computer Science at Georgia Tech, earned his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and he is working on network analysis and modeling. He has recently proposed an explanatory model of the hourglass effect in developmental biology, and a new method for inferring structural brain networks.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003EYoung Jang, an assistant professor in Tech\u2019s School of Applied Physiology, got his Ph.D. in biomedical science at the University of Texas. The main goal of Jang\u2019s research is to understand the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that lead to muscle atrophy and loss of function during aging and in neuromuscular diseases.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EShuyi Nie, who earned her Ph.D. in cell biology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, is an assistant professor in Georgia Tech\u2019s School of Biology, where she has focused her research on the mechanisms of embryonic cell migration.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHee Cheol Cho, an associate professor with the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, is based at Emory, where he is the Urowsky-Sahr Scholar in Pediatric Bioengineering. A member of the Emory+Children\u2019s Pediatric Research Center, Cho\u2019s research group develops gene- and-cell-based approaches to engineering biological pacemakers as alternatives to electronic cardiac pacemaker devices.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Petit Institute adds new faculty members"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPetit Institute adds new faculty members\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Petit Institute adds new faculty members"}],"uid":"28153","created_gmt":"2015-01-08 22:45:05","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:17:50","author":"Jerry Grillo","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-01-08T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2015-01-08T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"312351":{"id":"312351","type":"image","title":"Parker H.
