Her research focuses on building genetic tools to study the mechanisms of stem cell differentiation for the purpose of directing cell fate decisions. She is the recipient of several awards including the NSF CAREER Award, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Award, the NIH Trailblazer Award, and the NIH Director\u2019s New Innovator Award.

Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but do not often present at their home institution - this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. IBB Breakfast Club Seminars are open to anyone in the bio-community.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Ch6\u003ETara Deans, Georgia Tech\u003C\/h6\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Tara Deans, Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2026-07-21 14:06:42","changed_gmt":"2026-07-21 14:31:52","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2027-01-12T08:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2027-01-12T09:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2027-01-12T09:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2027-01-12 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2027-01-12 14:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2027-01-12 14:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotech Building (IBB), Suddath Seminar Room 1128, 315 Ferst Drive","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
