John L. Aull, 79, died on Nov. 16, 2018, in Durham, North Carolina.

“John Aull served Auburn University with excellence from 1974 to 2006. John’s research centered on thymidylate synthase, an important enzymatic target for cancer chemotherapy. John was a gifted mentor and instructor, receiving numerous teaching awards throughout his career. Before there was any official mechanism for it, John was an invaluable mentor to me as a new faculty member starting out in 1999. Today, our department has a thriving Division of Biochemistry; it would not have been possible without his legacy, help, and support. He will be missed as an esteemed colleague, supportive mentor, beloved teacher, and close friend.”—Douglas C. Goodwin, friend and colleague
