Duke Center for Precision Health Awards Pilot Funding to Advance Genomic Science

Share

The Duke Center for Precision Health and Precision Genomics Collaboratory have awarded five pilot grants to advance genomic science at Duke by leveraging and enhancing the OneDukeGen study infrastructure. This opportunity was open to all Duke University School of Medicine faculty.

As part of the Duke-nference partnership, OneDukeGen is a genomic sequencing and biorepository project focused on translating genetic discoveries to patient care in less time. The study is performing genetic sequencing on 150,000 Duke patients across multiple diseases and returning genetic test results to applicable participants.
