Cody, a robot in Charlie Kemp's Healthcare Robotics Lab at Georgia Tech, was used in a study testing how subjects responded to being touched by a robot in a healthcare setting. In this initial test, researchers found that the subjects' perception of Cody's intent made a significant difference in how they responded. In this photo, Cody sports new Xbox 360 Kinect headgear, gear that he didn't have in the initial study.  Photo: Rob Felt/Georgia Tech

A cell chamber is mounted on a microscope. Three micropipettes, inserted into the chamber from both sides, are used to aspirate individual cells, to bring them into contact so that researchers can study their interactions. This is the kind of methodology that Cheng Zhu and his colleagues used to study PD-1.
