Cereon Genomics is an agricultural biotechnology company formed in
November 1997 through a collaboration between Millennium Pharmaceuticals
and the Monsanto Company. Cereon's goal is to develop and apply
genomics to agricultural problems, and thereby improve the quality and
quantity of the world's food supply. Cereon provides exciting
opportunities to apply statistical expertise to the pursuit of
important biological questions.
