July 16, 2008 Forum: Georgia has a future as the 'crossroads of global health' (editorial)
The next 11 months are going to be critical as Georgia builds its reputation in the world of biosciences and global health, which are critical to the future of many Georgia communities. The Georgia Tech/Emory University biomedical engineering program is ranked second in the nation. We have worked to establish a network of eminent scholars in global health who are among the brightest lights and best hopes for some of the world's health challenges.

Local hospitals join blood transfusion network
A nationwide network to collect data on blood transfusion and recipient outcomes, called the first of its type in the United States, will include four metro Atlanta hospitals at its launch. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory Midtown, Emory University Hospital and Grady Memorial Hospital are among the roughly 35 hospitals and blood centers that have committed to share their blood collection, utilization and transfusion statistics. They will help comprise the U.S. Biovigilance Network, a project about two years in the making. (link is taken from July 17, 2008 version of Emory in the News: AJC)
