Genomics Research Shines at Scientific Retreat
The Precision Genomics Collaboratory held its second annual Genomics Scientific Retreat on February 23 in the Trent Semans Center Great Hall.
Ko elected to American Society for Clinical Investigation
Dennis Ko, MD, PhD, associate professor in molecular genetics and microbiology, was among five School of Medicine faculty to be elected into the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI), one of the oldest and most esteemed nonprofit honor societies of physician-scientists.
Genetics funding ranked eighth, School of Medicine ninth in NIH funding
PGC Announces Student Pilot Grant Awardees
The Duke University School of Medicine Office of Biomedical Graduate Education (OBGE) and Precision Genomics Collaboratory awarded 17 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 antibiotic natural evolution, prostate cancer, vascular malformations, and more.

Mouse lemur genomes shed light on climate as a driver of speciation
Sure, lemurs are adorable. With their big eyes, some even look like they belong in a Disney forest. But that is definitely not what drives Anne Yoder’s passion to research these primates. She is interested in them at a genomic level.
Brains, Hearts, and Sudden Deaths: Following Discoveries Made From Rare Disease Pilot Grants
The Precision Genomics Collaboratory collaborated with the Duke Center for Combinatorial Gene Regulation to award three $20,000 pilot grants in August 2021. These grants focused on investigating the role of whole exome and whole genome sequencing in human cohorts with rare diseases. Now, after over a year of work, these researchers are beginning to find answers to big questions.
