Core Faculty

The Center for Human Genetics includes an outstanding team of faculty members who are working to understand the genetic basis of human disease. Our faculty members are leaders in their fields, contributing to the wealth of knowledge about genetics.

At Duke, we're tackling a whole new range of human diseases; complex genetic disorders that affect millions of people, and diseases that are affected by environmental risk factors.

Mapping the genes is only the beginning: at the Duke Center for Human Genetics, we intend to map the course of medicine.
