Xiaodong Cheng, Ph. D. - Professor, My research interests are mainly focused on epigenetic modifications of DNA methylation and histone modifications.
		Graeme Conn, Ph. D. - Associate Professor, RNA-protein interactions in bacterial antibiotic resistance and the mammalian anti-viral response; mammalian sweet taste receptor and sweet protein structure, function and interaction.
		Anita Corbett, Ph. D. - Professor, I have two general research interests. The first is the study of the transport of macromolecules into and out of the nucleus and the second is the regulation of mitosis.
		Richard D. Cummings, Ph. D. - William Patterson Timmie Professor and Chair, Glycoconjugate structure/function/biosynthesis; cell adhesion involving lectins and glycoproteins in human inflammation, tumor metastasis and schistosomiasis.
		Paul Doetsch, Ph. D. - Professor, Molecular biology of DNA damage, repair, and mutagenesis. Genetic instability and cancer.
		Christine Dunham, Ph. D. - Assistant Professor, christine.m.dunham@emory.edu Ribosome function and structure; mechanism of viral mRNA frameshifts; structure and function of RNA-binding proteins involved in mRNA processing and transport.
		Dale Edmondson, Ph. D. - Professor, Flavin chemistry and flavoenzyme catalysis, mechanism of action of metalloflavoenzymes, phosphoprotein structure and function.
		Richard Kahn, Ph. D. - Professor, The research focus in my laboratory is the family of 21 kDa GTP binding proteins, termed ADP- ribosylation factors of Arfs.
		Ichiro Matsumura, Ph. D. - Associate Professor, My objective is to understand the adaptive evolution of protein structure and function. I recapitulate the evolutionary process in the laboratory, and identify the correlations between specific changes in tertiary structure and improvements in fitness. These experiments often yield proteins with enhanced industrial or pharmaceutical utility.
		Eric Ortlund, Ph. D. - Assistant Professor, eric.ortlund@emory.edu The lab will use structural biology to focus on nuclear receptor mediated transcription, on complexes between specific lipid transporters and their cognate nuclear receptor recipients and will utilize structure and ancestral gene resurrection to understand the evolution of novel function within proteins.
		David C. Pallas, Ph. D. - Associate Professor, The primary purpose of the research in my laboratory is to understand the molecular basis of the control of cell proliferation and of mechanisms by which this control is circumvented in neoplastic cell growth. This knowledge will be applied to help identify new targets for small molecule drug therapy for cancer and other diseases in which aberrant cell proliferation is involved.
		Daniel Reines, Ph. D. - Professor, Current research is focusing on the biochemistry and molecular biology of gene expression.
		Nicholas T. Seyfried, Ph. D. - Assistant Professor, nseyfri@emory.edu We use a quantitative mass spectrometry approach to define protein aggregation and post-translational modification events observed in neurodegenerative disease.
		Keith Wilkinson, Ph. D. - Professor, Our laboratory concentrates on the regulation of protein amount and location in the cell. We are studying the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis system that is responsible for regulated degradation of intracellular proteins as well as the role of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins as a targeting signal.
