Gerald W HartGerald W. Hart recently took a position as Georgia Research Alliance William Henry Terry, Sr. Eminent Scholar in Drug Discovery, and Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Georgia. Prior to that he was at Johns Hopkins MedicalSchool. Hart is the President of ASBMB and the recipient of a number of awards. He is Associate Editor of J. Biological Chemistry and of Molecular and Cellular Proteomics. He founded the journal Glycobiology. He performed early studies on cell surface heparan sulfates and on the roles of proteoglycans and sulfotransferases in corneal transparency. Hart's laboratory discovered O-GlcNAcylation, co-led elucidation of GPI anchor biosynthesis with Paul Englund's group, and documented the importance of protein structure for N-glycosylation. Hart later discovered the extensive crosstalk between O-GlcNAc and phosphorylation underlying the etiology of diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
