Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences

Faculty members have earned national and international acclaim for their excellence in teaching, research, and contributions to their respective fields.[citation needed] In 1993, Bristol-Myers Squibb began marketing Taxol, ultimately earning more than $1.6 billion by the year 2000.In addition, polymer chemist and professor, Joseph Schlenoff, holds 30 patents relating to his research into multilayers and hydrogels.[23] Comprising a wide range of topics, the faculty includes winners of Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Arts, Fulbright, and Newberry Library fellowships.[citation needed] The department has its own superconducting linear particle accelerator[27] at which experiments ranging from precision atomic measurements to analysis of rare-isotope collisions are performed.Indirectly, through current director Dr. Gregory Boebinger as well as his predecessor, laboratory founder Dr. Jack Crow, the department operates the main complex of the multi discipline National High Magnetic Field Laboratory,[29] located near campus at FSU's Innovation Park.

Pacific Yew tree — the source of Taxol . As Pacific yew trees were harvested for the drug tamoxifen faster than they could grow back, a crisis emerged in the supply of a beneficial anti-cancer medication. FSU's semisynthetic Taxol greatly improved the supply of this anti-cancer drug.
