John Karickhoff recently gave $1 million to launch the Duke Ocular Innovation Hub. The hub will serve both as an engine to drive innovation and a repository for innovations developed at Duke Eye Center.

Using enhanced imaging technology, Duke researchers identified a previously unknown part of photoreceptor cells in the retina.

Duke University School of Medicine researchers reveal how fungi can be both a species-threatening force and a vital part of our ecosystem. From recycling nutrients and trapping carbon to making bread rise and producing antibiotics, fungi are indispensable.

Cameron McIntyre, a professor of biomedical engineering and a professor in neurosurgery, has developed research that enables doctors to visualize a patient's brain in three dimensions. By using holograms, neurosurgeons can perform complex surgeries to alleviate tremors associated with Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.

Duke University School of Medicine has joined the Global Virus Network (GVN) as one of its newest Centers of Excellence. Collaborating entities include the Duke Research and Discovery @RTP, the Duke Global Health Institute and the Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI).
