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. 

 

undergraduate guidance

The Duke Precision Medicine Program is pleased to work with undergraduate students interested in gaining first-hand experience about applied genomics and precision medicine. Programs, such as the Snyderman Scholars and Summer Scholars in Genome Sciences & Medicine, are available. Susanne Haga, PhD is the Co-Director of the Summer Scholars in Genome Sciences & Medicine and Snyderman Program and oversees the educational mission of the Duke Precision Medicine Program.

Precision Medicine Forum

The Duke Precision Medicine Program Forum Series features speakers from Duke and beyond working on innovative research in clinical, translational, and basic sciences. The forum is open to attendees internal and external to Duke. 

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.

Reflections from CAGPM's first T32 Scholars

The Duke Center for Applied Genomics and Precision Medicine’s (CAGPM) Post-doctoral Training Program in Genomic Medicine, supported by an NIH training award (T32), began in 2017 with its first two fellows: Carolyn Baloh, M.D., and Cory Stingl, M.D. Now that their time in the program is coming to an end, they are reflecting on their experiences and looking towards their futures.

Summer springs into fall opportunity

Sophomore Naeema Hopkins-Kotb started building her foundation in the 2018 Summer Scholars Program in Genome Sciences and Medicine, Now, she is continuing the research she began in the Summer Scholars Program through an independent study with mentor Dr. Beth Sullivan, associate professor of molecular genetics and microbiology.
