Auburn alumnus Lamb named president of HudsonAlpha, continues Institute’s vision of translating power of genomics into real-world results

Neil Lamb’s story reads like the tagline from his Shareable Science blog—the building blocks of life, one story at a time.

An Auburn alumnus, Lamb graduated from COSAM in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in molecular biology and completed a doctorate in genetics and molecular biology from Emory University in 1997. As he begins his leadership role at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, Lamb’s journey as a scientist can be traced back to a solid foundation at Auburn.
