The Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) is a multidisciplinary network of centers, research programs, and educational activities that, together, form an integrated approach to genome sciences and their implications for health and society. Directed by Huntington Willard, PhD, the IGSP actively builds bridges among researchers, clinicians, policy experts, and the general public to address successfully the challenges represented by the Genome Revolution. Instrumental to this goal is the Center for Genomic Medicine, which strives to translate the findings from genome discovery into medically-useful information, tools, and tests, guided by input in genome ethics and policy—driving personalized medicine into the mainstream of medical practice and healthcare.
