About Us
For more than two decades, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and the Georgia Institute of Technology have worked together to improve the health and care of young people.
The Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Technology Center at Georgia Tech (PTC), a part of the Georgia Institute of Technology, brings clinical experts from Children’s together with Georgia Tech scientists and engineers to develop technological solutions to problems in pediatric healthcare.
The PTC provides extraordinary opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration in pediatrics, creating breakthrough discoveries that enhance the lives of children and young adults. The innovations in research and development made possible by the PTC will improve mental and physical health and well-being for young people in Georgia and beyond, as new clinical processes and devices are brought to market that will increase the accessibility, efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery in hospitals and in communities that need it most.
Facilities
PTC is housed on the ground floor of the Roger A. and Helen B. Krone Engineered Biosystems Building (EBB) on Georgia Tech campus. EBB is a giant leap forward in creating the infrastructure that inspires and sustains scientific discovery at Georgia Tech and enables us to expand our commitment to improving and saving lives by bringing new treatments, medical technologies, medications, and therapies to patients. The key to innovation lies in collaboration, and the EBB is designed to facilitate research across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.
