Such microorganisms hint at functionality in larger organisms yet are less complex. Georgia Tech biomedical engineer Eberhard Voit, in collaboration with Helena Santos, a professor at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Portugal, showed that high-precision, dynamic experimental data can be combined with nonlinear mathematical modeling to characterize mechanisms in the bacterium Lactococcus lactis. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo view full article, visit:  \u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/animals\/090605-sl-voit.html\u0027\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.livescience.com\/animals\/090605-sl-voit.html\u003C\/a\u003E\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information on Voit lab, visit: \u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/www.bst.bme.gatech.edu\/\u0027\u003EEberhard Voit\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Eberhard Voit, PhD, profiled on NSF\u0027s LiveScience website.
