The Auburn University Cellular and Molecular Biosciences program (AU-CMB), a University Peak of Excellence, will integrate InforMax's Vector NTI software into the AU-CMB interdisciplinary program which includes the Colleges of Agriculture, Veterinary Medicine veterinary medicine, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of animals. An early interest in animal diseases is found in ancient Greek writings on medicine. Veterinary medicine began to achieve the stature of a science with the organization of the first school in the , Sciences & Mathematics and Human Sciences. InforMax's industry-leading informatics software will support the curriculum of approximately 600 graduate and undergraduate university students. The license agreement was reached in March 2002, the software has been widely implemented, and training began in late May. The AU-CMB Director, Dr. Frank Bartol, stated, "We moved forward with this project to enrich the academic and research environments for both students and scientists. The site license for InforMax's Vector NTI software allows us to provide a common platform for sequence analysis and related activities that can be shared between molecular research labs and demonstrated in classrooms throughout campus. Campus-wide distribution of this software should facilitate collaborative efforts between labs.

The biological sciences department has served as a cornerstone of Auburn University's mission of academic excellence for more than a century. As a land-grant institution with faculty in the biological, agricultural and veterinary biosciences, Auburn is in a unique position to lead the way in these areas of immediate and lasting importance to the people of this State, the nation and the world. In 1999, through an unprecedented interdisciplinary effort of faculty from the colleges of Agriculture, Sciences and Mathematics, Veterinary Medicine, and Human Sciences, more than 75 scientists joined forces to establish the Auburn University Cell and Molecular Biosciences program - AU-CMB - as a Peak of Excellence. Program Objectives The AU-CMB program is built upon the research strengths of Auburn's life sciences faculty and their recognized institutional excellence and dedication to teaching. At the core of this program is a commitment to education at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The AU-CMB faculty will prepare students in the life sciences at Auburn University to compete as informed, productive citizens and scientists in the biotechnological world of the 21st century.
