Now an assistant professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, his research focuses on the design and control of adaptive robotic manipulation (ARM) systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EPaaby, assistant professor in the School of Biology, came to Georgia Tech last summer following her postdoctoral work at New York University. Her lab explores major questions in evolution and quantitative genetics. Current projects include exploring how cryptic alleles in embryogenesis depend on genetic background, how development evolves over time, and the role of molecular mechanisms in trait determination and evolution.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003ETsygankov is an assistant professor in the Coulter Department and directs the Integrative Systems Biology Lab, where his current research is focused on integrating experimental and computational methods (involving modeling, simulating, and novel computer vision techniques) to understand complex multi-scale physiological processes including vasculogenesis, morphogenesis, and wound healing.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003ENow with more than 180 faculty members, the Petit Institute is an internationally recognized hub of multidisciplinary research, where engineers and scientists are working on solving some of the world\u2019s most challenging health issues. With 17 research centers and more than $24 million invested in state-of-the-art core facilities, the Petit Institute is translating scientific discoveries into game-changing solutions to solve real-world problems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECONTACT:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/node\/jerry.grillo@ibb.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EJerry Grillo\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECommunications Officer II\u003Cbr \/\u003EParker H.
