Metabolomics expert Arthur Edison

Edison is the third GRA Eminent Scholar to join UGA this year. He brings the total number of GRA scholars at UGA to 17. Among the brightest minds in their fields, eminent scholars also represent a driver of Georgia's technology-rich economic development strategy. Working on breakthroughs in science and technology, their work is a leverage on expertise that makes interdisciplinary entities like the CCRC or the Center for Molecular Medicine…


Wells named Ljungdahl Investigator

Associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology Lance Wells has been named a Lars G. Ljungdahl Distinguished Investigator by the Georgia Research Alliance:   Wells’ research explores how modification of proteins by sugars, a process known as O-glycosylation, affects their biological activity. In particular, the Wells laboratory focuses on two types of O-glycosylation, O-GlcNAc and O-Man, that are involved in human disease…
