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.
