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!
