Stronger Than Rare: Battling Adversity, Fueling Genetic Discovery
Life constantly throws twists and turns at us. These adversities, big and small, challenge us in new ways and force us to decide who we want to be: the person who gives up and walks away or the person who faces that adversity head on and figures out how to fight through it.
Living Well at 99: Lois Fenoglio Shares Her DNA for Health Research
A lot of life happens in 99 years. Lois Jean Fenoglio is hoping that some of her 99 years (and counting!) of life experiences can help researchers better understand connections between DNA and health.
Fenoglio is participating in the OneDukeGen Genomic Sequencing Study and Biorepository. By providing a blood sample, Fenoglio’s DNA and other material will be analyzed and used in research related to a variety of diseases and conditions.
Duke Center for Precision Health Awards Pilot Funding to Advance Genomic Science
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.
Engineering Health: A Duke Patient’s Impact on Genomics and the Future of Medicine
With a career that started at NASA and ended with engineering software for genomics research, Duke patient Sharon is not shy about her passion for science and the value of scientific research. It should come as no surprise then that when, during an appointment at the Duke Cardiac Catheterization Lab, she was asked to join the OneDukeGen study, she was all in.
Shah Named Associate Dean for Translational Research
In this role, Shah will serve in an expanded capacity from her previous role as associate dean of genomics.
Duke launches the Center for Precision Health dedicated to advancing patient health with genomic research
Led by Svati Shah and Julie Eckstrand, the Center for Precision Health aims to create a network through which Duke scientists and researchers in health data and genetics will be connected to clinical departments to work together to expand clinical genetics and its relevant research for improved personalized healthcare.
‘OneDukeGen’ DNA study involves 150,000 Duke patients with a ‘precision health’ approach
Duke Health has begun major research to find out why some people stay healthy while others develop disease. The 6-year study will gather DNA data from 150,000 Duke patients.
Heartfelt Gratitude: Duke Patient Contributes to OneDukeGen Study
A Duke Health transplant patient decided to give back by joining OneDukeGen, the new precision medicine study that will analyze the DNA of 150,000 Duke patients and research study participants.
