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.
