Facilities
Duke IGSP
The Duke IGSP is a campus-wide genome Institute under the direction of Huntington Willard, PhD. The IGSP is built around a series of integrated Centers that house intellectual and equipment resources which foster genomic research on campus. The Center for Genomic Medicine is an enabler of genomic discovery and clinical studies in cardiovascular medicine focused on the translation of genetic and genomics into clinical practice. The Center for Applied Genomics & Technology (CAGT) was established as a resource and focal point for the development and application of novel approaches for genome analysis. Within CAGT are core facilities for gene expression analysis, high-throughput genotyping, and sample processing.
Duke Center for Human Genetics
The Center for Human Genetics (CHG) is an international leader in the study of inherited disorders, and has as its mission the development of gene identification projects through partnerships with clinicians and basic scientists. CHG provides a wealth of experience towards understanding the genetic determinants of human disease, and has established core resources to enable and support collaborative research programs. Among these resources is the Molecular Genetics Core for high-throughput genotyping.
Sarah W. Stedman Nutrition & Metabolism Center
The Stedman Nutrition and Metabolism Center at Duke has developed a research-dedicated Metabolomics/Biomarker laboratory that conducts metabolic, endocrine, inflammatory marker, and physiologic profiling of cultured cells, animal models, and human subjects. This includes a research-dedicated, mass-spectrometry-based metabolic profiling core facility.
UNC-Duke Michael Hooker Proteomics Center
The UNC-Duke Proteomics Center provides researchers with a state-of-the-art facility to identify proteins and to assist in the characterization of protein modification and differential expression from complex biological specimens. This shared facility is a joint operation of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC), and Duke University and Medical Center.
Biosite, Inc.
Biosite, Inc. is a research-based diagnostics company based in San Diego, CA. Biosite employs propriety technologies for antibody development and engineering, immunoassay development, sample handling, preparation and analysis for the targeted and quantitative analysis of protein analytes from complex biological specimens, and has ongoing collaborations with Duke for development and execution of high throughput protein assays.
