Research centers are created to bring together teams of researchers to work on significant scientific or engineering problems or areas. Typically, a sponsor provides funding to support the research activity of the team's members. Research centers often engage PIs (principle investigators), and their associated groups of students and postdoctoral scholars, from multiple school's at Georgia Tech, other universities, and government laboratories. PIs (faculty members) from the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry are active in many different research centers, several of which are based within our school.
 Chemical cues constitute the language in which many of the “instructions” for biotic interactions are written. The Aquatic Chemical Ecology Center brings together ecologists, chemists, sensory biologists, engineers, and quantitative modelers to translate this language from chemistry into ecology. |
 How life began is arguably one of the most intriguing questions of our time. The scientific objective of the Center for Chemical Evolution is to demonstrate that small molecules within a model inventory of prebiotic chemistry can self-assemble into polymers that resemble RNA and proteins. |
 CCMST provides computer resources for collaborative and individual projects involving experimentalists and theoreticians in our school and elsewhere on campus. It also hosts computational chemistry classes and workshops. |
 The Center for Drug Design, Development, and Delivery, or CD4, is a center for research and education that employs the combined strengths of engineering and physical science at Georgia Tech to solve problems in an interdisciplinary fashion. |
 COPE is a national research and educational resource center. It focuses on the creation of flexible organic photonic and electronic materials, and devices containing these materials, that can be used in the information technology, telecommunications, energy, and defense sectors. |
 This center seeks to develop technologies that will revolutionize chemical synthesis, and hence improve the tools available for materials preparation, fine chemical development, and drug discovery. |
 The Center for the Study of Systems Biology focuses on using the human genome sequence to unlock the secrets of life and using this understanding to aid the development of new treatments for diseases. |
 The ICRC seeks to integrate the diverse technological, computational, scientific, and medical expertise at Georgia Tech and partner institutions in a coordinated effort to develop improved cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. |
 Molecular Evolution Core Facility is a recently open facility housed in an 800-sq.-ft. suite on the second floor of the Engineered Biosystems Building. The purpose of the facility is to provide a routine access to the molecular evolution methods and serve as a force-multiplier for any laboratory at Tech and beyond that is in search for new molecular catalysts or molecular binders. |
 The REVEALS team leverages a cohesive team of investigators to provide an integrated systems-level approach to understanding global effects of radiation from the chemical evolution of volatiles to human protection in future missions exploring airless bodies within our solar system. The Radiation Effects on Volatiles and Exploration of Asteroids and Lunar Surfaces (REVEALS) team, led by Professor Thomas M. Orlando at The Georgia Institute of Technology, is a node of NASA’s Solar System Exploration and Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI). |
 The mission of Georgia Tech's systems mass spectrometry core facility is to provide researchers with state-of-the-art scientific and technical support in modern proteomics and metabolomics. This requires a commitment to developing, implementing, and optimizing cutting-edge methodologies and instrumentation. In addition, we believe a strong commitment to educating researchers is important. |
 A research collaboration developing cost-efficient and ecologically sustainable processes from lignin to defined chemical compounds. |
