The Duke University School of Medicine Office of Biomedical and Graduate Education (OBGE) and Precision Genomics Collaboratory awarded 9 pilot grants of $2,000 each to SOM Biomedical PhD students. The goal of these grants is to support our students in scientific and educational efforts to bolster their graduate training experiences. These awards will help further research in a broad array of topics including glioblastomas, multiple sclerosis and pancreatic cancer. They will also help fund sequencing work and professional conferences.
Congratulations to the Awardees!
