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. Complex carbohydrates are important in many physiological processes and alterations in glycosylation are associated with vast numbers of diseases and disorders. The Glycomics Center is also affiliated with the Core H Facility of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the NIH [www.functionalglycomics.org]. The Center Director is David F. Smith, Ph.D. [dfsmith@emory.edu – Tel. 404-727-6155] and Richard D. Cummings, Ph.D. [rdcummi@emory.edu – Tel. 404-727-5962] is the Center’s Co-Director.
