Our Mission

Educating the next generation of researchers and health providers in genomics and precision medicine is part of the fabric of our values at the Duke Center for Precision Medicine. From post-doctoral training programs in genomic research to undergraduate individual and team projects and summer programs, we are committed to providing extraordinary mentorship and educational experiences to future genomic researchers, educators, and clinicians.

Reflections from CAGPM's T32 Graduate Marie Mooney, PhD

My first year at Duke had me completely energized, and the Genomic Medicine training program gave me ample opportunities both internally and on a national stage to share my work and make new scientific connections with other passionate scientists

Going the Distance

After spending 10 weeks at Duke, three Summer Scholars, Ednan Ochieng, Alexandria Scott and Kennedy Lofton, presented their research to the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) in Anaheim, California, November 13 – 16.

Ready, Set, WearDuke

Beginning this fall, the Precision Health and Medicine Bass Connections team will work to further develop and expand the infrastructure for the WearDuke Initiative – a campus initiative to promote student health awareness and engagement.
