While the Nobel-winning genome-editing technology CRISPR holds great promise, Duke’s Center for Advanced Genomic Technologies is putting some eggs in other baskets.

Faculty from the School of Medicine and the Pratt School of Engineering discussed how artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing biomedical research and health care at the Duke Summit on AI for Health Innovation.

Before there was CSI, there was Wiley Forbus, MD. He changed the way pathologists communicated their findings about the dead, moving from text and drawings to scientific photography.

Mary Klotman, MD talks with talks with Christopher Hostler, MD, MPH on the vital partnership between Duke and the Durham VA, highlighting its benefits for education, research, and patient care.
