We conduct basic biomedical and translational research with an emphasis on the study of diverse aspects of cellular dynamics in health, disease and therapeutic intervention using modern methods in microscopy and imaging. Our research employs multidisciplinary approaches with genetically tractable animal models and human patient cells. We are committed to provide an exemplary level of research training, teaching and mentorship of future scientists and physicians. We continue to establish new partnerships and collaborations across several academic and clinical departments within Emory University, the School of Medicine and several research centers. I look forward to support the research and teaching mission of our faculty, and our vision to have a transformative impact on understanding basic science to advance human health. Gary J.

Dr. Maureen Powers Received the Hidden Gems Award Dr. Maureen Powers received the Emory School of Medicine Hidden Gems award. These faculty members have been nominated by their departments in recognition of their outstanding, but often unnoticed or unrecognized, contributions to Emory or beyond. Criss Hartzell Publication in PNAS Dr. Criss Hartzell published PNAS paper titled, "A network of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate binding sites regulates gating of the Ca 2+ -activated Cl − channel ANO1 (TMEM16A)". Dr. David Katz Award In April 2019, Dr. David Katz was awarded the Escher Prize in Germ Cell Exposures. The prize recognizes researchers whose work shines a light on the heritable hazards of germline exposures to drugs or other chemicals and includes a $2,000 donation and certificate of recognition. Donate to the Cellular Therapies Fund As we enter a new era in cell biology, the need for philanthropy to fund research impacting clinical services is key to ensuring Emory University is at the forefront of the dramatic growth in basic biomedical and translational research. Our scientists conduct research studying diverse aspects of cellular dynamics in health, disease and therapeutic intervention. The Department of Cell Biology is committed to ushering this new era of molecular and cellular medicine into Emory University School of Medicine and Emory Healthcare. Our research at the interface of cell biology, developmental biology and neurobiology will lead to new breakthroughs in preventative and therapeutic patient care.
