Hosted by the Woo Center for Big Data and Precision Medicine, directed by GCB faculty member Xiling Shen, the new conference brought together leaders in data-driven approaches to improving health.

Bullies may come and go, but the ‘molecular memory’ of being a target lingers

With work spanning gene circuits, antibiotic resistance and the mathematical modeling of cellular networks, GCB faculty Lingchong You explores how to best to harness microbes for medical purposes.

A Duke team was recently awarded a grant from DARPA for a research effort aimed at temporarily regulating gene expression that could help protect against pandemic flu.

Lawrence David launches new study demonstrating that DNA metabarcoding provides a promising new method for tracking human plant intake, suggesting that similar approaches could be used to characterize the animal and fungal components of human diets.

Lingchong You has devised a machine learning approach to modeling the interactions between complex variables in engineered bacteria that would otherwise be too cumbersome to predict.

The Center for Advanced Genomic Technologies, directed by GCB faculty member Charlie Gersbach, will use homegrown tools and techniques to discover potential therapies for human diseases from autism to cancer to schizophrenia.

Jenny Tung, associate professor of evolutionary anthropology and biology at Duke, has been awarded a 2019 MacArthur Foundation fellowship for her work on the social determinants of health.
