See page 17 jS3SK______a Duke's genomics center progresses • The genomics institute, which does not yet have a director, will unite biological research, ethics and policy in an ambitious interdisciplinary program. By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle As scientists move closer to mapping the entire human genome, Duke has begun preparing for the bold new world of biological research, ethics and policy that is emerging. In one of its most complex and interdisci­ plinary initiatives ever, the University is beginning to engage almost every one of its colleges and schools in the Institute for Genomic Sciences and Policy. The institute will comprise at least five centers of research on the science, statistics, ethics and policy as­ sociated with deciphering DNA sequences. "I think we see this as one of the major things that we can do to forward the development of biological sciences at Duke," said Provost Peter Lange. "We have said often that you can't build department by department. You have to build centers of excellence."
