Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy

The Institute represents Duke University's comprehensive response to the broad challenges of the Genomic Revolution. Advances in genome science and its applications raise a broad spectrum of ethical, legal, and policy issues. The importance of these issues to society creates an urgent need to build bridges among researchers, clinicians, policymakers, business people and the general public.
