The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Emory University biochemists David Smith and Richard Cummings a $1.2 million grant through four years Aug. 1.

“We wanted to work in this area because we think that protein carbohydrate interactions are extremely important in normal biological situations,” Smith said.
