“ One reason VCOM is an excellent place for research is the collaborative environment. Whether it is collaboration within VCOM or with faculty members from the Auburn University community, there is exemplary synergy. In addition to our own resources, collaborative agreements with other institutions provides faculty with a wealth of expertise and options to design and execute the highest quality investigations. ” - Jeffrey Martin, PhD Discipline Chair for Physiology VCOM–Auburn
