To give you an idea of what the organization does, here's a quote from the
about page:
About ATCC
Mission
ATCC is a global nonprofit bioresource center that provides biological
products, technical services, and educational programs to private industry,
government, and academic organizations around the world. Our mission is to
acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop, and distribute biological
materials, information, technology, intellectual property, and standards
for the advancement, validation, and application of scientific knowledge.
Research
Along with maintaining and distributing biological materials, research is a
key part of ATCC's science program. Staff scientists conduct research on
both collection-oriented and grant-supported topics, including improved
storage and characterization methods, authentication of standards,
descriptions of new species, genomics, in vitro cell biology, and disease
diagnosis and prevention.
The bioinformatics (BIF) program carries out research in various areas of
biological information management relevant to the ATCC mission. BIF
scientists interact with laboratory scientists in microbiology, cell
biology, and molecular biology at ATCC and other laboratories throughout
the world. It has strong collaborations with a large number of academic
institutions, including IB3 and CSI of George Mason University and the
Australian National University. Currently BIF scientists have grants and
contracts from governmental agencies (NSF, EPA, NIH), industrial and
academic institutions.
History
ATCC was established in 1925 when a committee of scientists recognized a
need for a central collection of microorganisms that would serve scientists
all over the world. The early years were spent at the McCormick Institute
in Chicago until the organization moved to Georgetown University in
Washington, D.C., in 1937. As research in the biosciences expanded, ATCC
began to diversify its holdings, and as the collections grew ATCC occupied
a series of sites, each providing more storage space. ATCC moved to its
current state-of-the-art laboratory in 1998.
