Overview
The Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience opened its doors in 1995 and since that time it has served as a catalyst for innovative bioengineering and bioscience research. Located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, the Petit Institute offers a bold variety of both traditional and cutting-edge medical research.
The Petit Institute has revolutionized the term “interdisciplinary research,” and the institute has become an incubator for research teams to tackle complex medical research problems using an interdisciplinary approach. It has grown to include more than 200 faculty members from a wide variety of disciplines, which has played a vital role in the success of the institute and its culture.
From its “research neighborhoods” to the open atrium and even the building’s artwork, the Petit Institute was built from the ground up to foster an environment where innovative research emerges from the joint activities of bioengineering and bioscience faculty from more than eight different departments.
Mission
The Petit Institute’s mission is to build a community within Georgia Tech and our partner institutions that catalyzes, cultivates, and deploys interdisciplinary research and education in bioengineering and the biosciences for economic and societal benefit.
