The Glycomics Center at Emory University School of Medicine is located in the Department of Biochemistry on the 4th floor of the O. Wayne Rollins Research Center. Analogous to Genomics and Proteomics, Glycomics focuses on defining the structures and functions of complex carbohydrates, as found in glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans. Visit the Glycomics Center of Emory University to learn more about this exciting program.
SERYM 2012 - Southeastern Regional Yeast Meeting
Katherine Mills-Lũjan from the Corbett Laboratory whose presentation entitled "Specific Exosome Subunits are High Copy Suppressors of Defective Poly(A) Tail Length Control" was voted the best platform talk by a post-doctoral fellow.
Lydia Morris a graduate student in the Doetsch Laboratory. Her presentation entitled "An Amino Acid Substitution in the Major Yeast AP Endonuclease, Apn1, Impairs DNA Repair Capacity by an Unanticipated Mechanism" was selected as an outstanding platform talk presented by a graduate student.
Moiez Ali an undergraduate student in the Wilkinson Laboratory. His presentation entitled "Divergence in prion-inducing ability of paralogous actin-associated proteins" was selected as an outstanding platform talk presented by an under-graduate student.
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 25 faculty, 20 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 explore 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.
