Duke University opened its new $200-million Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy research center in late November 2000. The institute’s mission is to develop applications of genomic research through the work of a multidisciplinary consortium of scientists, engineers, physicians, lawyers and ethicists. Five centers will comprise the institute: the Center for Human Genetics; the Center for Human Disease Models; the Center for Genome Technology; the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology; and the Center for Ethics, Law, and Policy.
