Research Overview


The Biochemistry, Cell, and Developmental Biology (BCDB) graduate training program is founded on multidisciplinary approaches to biomedical research. The program combines state-of-the-art research with innovative coursework emphasizing the mastering of primary scientific literature and training in professional development. BCDB faculty members are affiliated with basic science and clinical departments of the Emory School of Medicine, and the departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics of Emory College.

BCDB faculty research falls within four main areas:

Biochemistry

Structural, functional and physical studies of macromolecules and macromolecular complexes

Biochemistry Faculty

Cell Biology

In vitro and in vivo studies of cellular and organismal levels using a range of modern cell biological techniques

Cell Biology Faculty

Developmental Biology

Studies investigating the mechanisms and molecules involved in embryogenesis of a variety of different model organisms

Developmental Biology Faculty

Structural Biology

Application of biophysical techniques and computational modeling to determine regulation of biomolecules at highest levels of resolution
