Peng Qiu, associate professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory and a member of the Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience, will receive a new source of funding from the National Institutes of Health to support his research.
Qiu has won an NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) grant that will provide $275,000 over two years to fund development of algorithms and software solutions for automated flow cytometry analysis.
“I think the developments proposed in this project have commercialization potential,” says Qiu, whose lab’s focus is on machine learning and bioinformatics with the overarching goal of developing novel computational methods for advancing biological discoveries. “Overall, I’m pretty excited about it.”
