Emory Biochemistry Cell & Developmental Biology

Fun with translation! Talking about ribosome heterogeneity with our amazing first year @EmoryBCDB students! We have an outstanding class including two @emorymstp students

This week in the Department of Biochemistry seminar series: Dr. Ding Xu, PhD will present "Heparan Sulfate - a master regulator of bone homeostasis."

Starting the new academic year off with a buzz, Carly Lancaster (co-advised by Dr. Ken Moberg, Ph.D. and Dr. Anita Corbett Ph.D.) will be defending her thesis this Friday, August 30. Please join us in celebrating the culmination of Carly's hard work!

Please join us on May 17, 2024 for the dissertation defense of Colby Schweibenz, chief Drosophila enthusiast of the BCDB program (and possibly the world) (Advisor: Ken Moberg, Ph.D.). Come see what all the buzz is about with her project and watch as she flies to new heights!

📢Paper accepted! Ekram's paper on multicomponent depolymerization of actin filaments just got accepted in European Journal of Cell Biology! Yay! Stay tuned for more on this! @etowsif2 @EmoryUniversity @emorycollege @Emory_Physics @EmoryBiochem

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 -- Please join us for the Department of Cell Biology seminar series where Victoria Abraira, Ph.D. will be presenting "Context is Key: How Spinal Cord Neuromodulation Shapes Our Somatosensory Experiences".

Tomorrow -- April 30, 2024, please join us for the dissertation defense of Tala Khatib (advisor: Adam Marcus, Ph.D.). Let's cheer her on as she finishes her BCDB Ph.D. experience!

Honored to be at the @laneygradschool Edward A. Boucher Graduate Honor Society Recognition Ceremony where @EmoryBCDB student Taylor Hailstock is one of the incredibly accomplished 2024 Inductees.

A huge congrats to my @EmoryBCDB @EmoryMSTP MD/PhD student Chiemela Ohanele for winning the 1st prize-Ruth and Silen M.D. Award at the New England Science Symposium. So glad she could share our research on #mitochondria and #CHD! @EmoryCHOA_HeRO @laneygradschool @EmoryMedicine

Congratulations to Taylor on her induction into the Bouchet Graduate Honor Society! She will travel to Yale for the national ceremony and present a talk of her work investigating neurodevelopment. 🥂👏 @EmoryBCDB @EmoryUniversity @laneygradschool @LaneyEDGE

ascb.org/member-news/me… Former BCDB student Dr. Julia Sade Omotade is having an impact through @ASCBiology Exciting to see her leadership!!

Congratulations Sarah!
