As Chair of the Department of Biochemistry at Emory University
School of Medicine, it is a real pleasure to welcome you to our department. It
is my great privilege to work with such an outstanding group of faculty,
fellows, students, and staff.
The Department of Biochemistry is a leading research division at Emory
University School of Medicine with 22 faculty, 15 post-doctoral fellows,
25 graduate students, and a large research staff in biomedical research,
exploring many key areas of biochemistry. Our diverse studies include research
on cell signaling, intracellular trafficking, protein modification and
turnover, protein structure, membrane biochemistry, DNA repair and
modification, genetic instability, human genetics, and the roles of glycoconjugates
in human biology and disease.
There is great excitement in our department as we look forward to our future
growth and development. In the next few years we anticipate hiring
several new junior and senior researchers to join us as we expand our research
into many important basic and clinical biomedical research areas.
For further information, I encourage you to journey into our website,
which includes research descriptions of the faculty, their recent publications, seminars, course offerings, and other activities.
Further information regarding the predoctoral training programs can be
obtained from the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences.
For postdoctoral training, contact a faculty member directly. Thanks for
your cooperation and I look forward to a great future for us all at Emory.
Yours truly,
Richard D. Cummings, Ph.D.
William Patterson Timmie Professor and Chair
Department of Biochemistry
Emory University School of Medicine
