Minds at Work

The places Emory researchers go
when they need some room to think

The Jeschke-Graham Reading Room. Special collections materials at Pitts Theology Library include a 1470 edition of Eusebius’s Preparation of the Gospel. Though there are other extant copies of this printed work, the hand-painted illumination makes it unique.

Pitts Theology Library. Among recent acquisitions for the Richard C. Kessler Reformation Collection, the book in the center is an example of a Sammelband, a bound volume containing multiple works that were printed separately. This volume contains writings by Reformation authors Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, and Alexius Naboth.

The Sanford S. Atwood Chemistry Center. The Dyer lab studies protein folding and functional dynamics—the structure and behavior of proteins. These amazing molecular machines perform functions relevant to critical changes in human health and renewable energy. Pictured is a home-built resonance Raman spectrometer.

The Michael C. Carlos Museum. Located in the basement of the museum, the Parsons Conservation Laboratory is where conservators examine, document, and repair objects such as this Egyptian funerary mask and Hittite house model in preparation for exhibition or loan.

The Michael C. Carlos Museum. These colorful powders are naturally occurring minerals or synthetic compounds ground as pigments. Conservators sometimes use dry pigments to custom-blend colors when treating objects in the museum's Parsons Conservation Laboratory. These pigments also serve as reference comparisons when analyzing colorants from collection objects.

The Winship Cancer Institute building on the Clifton campus has three floors of research labs. Investigators are working on everything from basic science experiments to translational (bench to bedside) research.

Winship Cancer Institute. Winship’s Laboratory of Molecular Neuro-Oncology is home to a multidisciplinary neuro-oncology team that designs new approaches for brain tumor therapy.

Winship Cancer Institute. In one of the Winship research labs that take up three floors altogether, microscopic cultures quietly go about the business of biochemical transformation, awaiting their chance to contribute in some small way to future treatments for cancer.

The Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library. The Rose Library’s collections are open to anyone pursuing scholarly or personal research. One of the most-used collections is the records of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the civil and human rights organization founded in 1957 and led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
