Crude oil refining hasn't changed much in a century. Researchers at Georgia Tech and KAIST have published a paper in Nature that suggests a simple membrane material could significantly cut the energy and carbon footprint of petroleum refining. https://t.co/xsWgSszjpW
Thanks to Professor Prausnitz from @ibbgatech & @GTChBE for hosting staff from Institute Relations today! Great to hear about how funding from @NIH has resulted in significant advances in microneedles & drug delivery.
Dropping a new Helluva Engineer magazine in your timeline — with a peek into interesting research labs (a mini ocean & mini moon, among them) and ways we're partnering with industry on real-world challenges. Check it out: https://t.co/DgWlQ2KGEW
Microneedle technology developed by Prof. @MarkPrausnitz of ChBE@GT allowed an Atlanta eye doctor to treat eye inflammation directly at its source, improving treatment and vision for patients. https://t.co/712g4bux1V

Congrats to @GTChBE's John Blazeck, who has won a @NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for his work on creating and evolving antibodies from scratch in yeast. https://t.co/nPAqJExvF4
Congratulations to @craigrforest & Hang Lu, who’ve been honored with the @BORUSG's highest faculty distinction. Forest has been appointed a Regents’ Entrepreneur & Lu a Regents’ Professor. https://t.co/AvLoIYMKCM
Engineered cell lines can take years and millions of dollars to develop. So there’s real potential for theft and industrial espionage. @GTChBE researchers now can protect valuable genetic material with a new “lock” that works at the DNA level. https://t.co/F8kLIVLt3l
In 2022, Lukas, Rivash, Priscilla, Antonia, Carson and Ghufran had big plans for their lives. And @GeorgiaTech was going to help them get there. Now it’s time for their exit interviews. https://t.co/x2Q2K2U7mL
Congrats to Michael Silas @mbsilas22 (B.S. 2026), whose combination of academic excellence, leadership, and service recently earned him the College of Engineering’s top honor for a graduating senior: the Tau Beta Pi Cup. https://t.co/fhzN1Ayd2U #gojackets#wecandothat
Defense against enemy drones. Systems to improve organ transplants. Methane-oxygen rocket designs. Swimming simulators. Help for nonprofits, drivers, drummers, golfers. It was all on display at @GTCapstone. https://t.co/gjRP88eW4Z
Congrats to @MarkPrausnitz , who is this year’s recipient of the Class of 1934 Distinguished Professor Award.
Prausnitz is a Regents’ Professor, Regents’ Entrepreneur, and J. Erskine Love Jr. Chair in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.

What if a stainless steel implant could fight infection and improve compatibility with bone cells? We pinpointed the key feature size and tuned the nanoscale roughness to suppress bacterial growth while enhancing mineralization. https://t.co/HsC9maAj41

.@GTChBE researchers are using patterned light to generate and control microscale forces that could inform designs for synthetic cells that deliver drugs. https://t.co/sRAIm3TNwz
It’s Giving Day at Georgia Tech! For the next 24 hours, we’re joining together to support students and strengthen the future.

Researchers in @GTChBE can use light to make a microscopic “muscle” contract on command.
The ability to control those tiny forces could inform designs for new synthetic cells that deliver drugs. https://t.co/uSu8pTSm8n
Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE) is ranked 5th for the fifth year in a row in U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of graduate programs nationwide as well as No. 2 among public universities.
