Welcome
The Department of Biochemistry is a leading research division at Emory University School of Medicine. Our diverse studies exploring many key areas of biochemistry, molecular and structural biology, applied toward a better understanding of diverse, fundamental biological processes with potential or established links to human health and disease. These include but are not limited to the study of gene expression and control of protein synthesis, cell signaling, cell metabolism, molecular pathogenesis, and protein/nucleic acid modifications and interactions.

Ortlund Lab Research in the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC)Â Featured on Today.com
June 2022: Dr. Eric Ortlund, Professor of Biochemistry, Emory School of Medicine, is a principal investigator in the National Institutes of Health-funded Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) featured on the Today show: Today.com on June 6, 2022. MoTrPAC aims to increase understanding of molecular changes during exercise by measuring these changes in healthy adults and children before, during, and after exercise. This study is the largest exercise research program of its kind as investigators from institutions across the country are poised to collect and turn data from nearly 2,600 volunteers into comprehensive maps of the molecular changes in the body due to exercise.
