September 14-20 is Duke undergraduate students' chance to discover the people, programs, and tools that can help them thrive at Duke. Throughout the week, there will be opportunities to connect with campus resources, pick up practical strategies for academic success, and explore services designed to support you at every stage of your undergraduate journey. Attend […]
Dr. Wenpin Hou's research lies at the intersection of computational biology, artificial intelligence, and statistical genomics, with a focus on developing computational methods to understand gene regulation using single-cell, spatial, and epigenomic data. Dr. Hou develops machine learning and statistical approaches for analyzing large-scale genomic datasets, including methods for single-cell transcriptomics, chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, […]
Take a break with Pint-Sized Pasture & GSPS! It's week four of the fall semester, and it's time for a little break! The Graduate Student Programs & Services (GSPS) team is excited to welcome our friends from Pint-Sized Pasture back to campus. When: Monday, September 14, 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Where: Engineering Quad What: […]
Microbial aggregates, called biofilms, are all around us, impacting industry, agriculture, and human health in both beneficial and detrimental ways. Bacteria form biofilms to protect themselves against a variety of stresses, and biofilm bacteria are significantly more tolerant to stressors, such as antibiotics. A key feature that contributes to biofilm resilience is the transcriptional heterogeneity […]
Join Scott Moore, Global Head of University Recruiting at Marvell Technology, Inc., as he helps you get prepared for attending career fairs.
From Sea to Space: Testing the Future of Exploration and Science This seminar explores the intersection of technology development, scientific research, and exploration across extreme environments-from the depths of the ocean to the reaches of space. Dr. Dawn Kernagis will draw on her experience as a crew member and scientist on NASA's NEEMO 21 undersea […]
Learning in Networks Reading Group and Seminar Series: Tuesdays, 12pm in 330 Gross Hall; lunch included The institute focuses on fundamental questions in statistical inference, machine learning, causal inference, and optimization on networks, with particular emphasis on statistical-computational tradeoffs, message-passing algorithms, learning dynamics, and network-based market design. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, the institute aims […]
The Duke Department of Neurology Division of Translational Brain Sciences, Duke Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and Neurology Residency Program are excited to invite you to their 2026 Research Symposium. All clinical, basic and translational researchers in the departments of neurology, neurobiology, neuroscience, neurosurgery, biomedical engineering, pediatrics, psychiatry, and psychology are invited to attend or present a […]
The Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science hosts Professor Robert Clark (University of Rochester) to present the MEMS Distinguished Seminar, "Walkabout: From Engineering Research and Entrepreneurship to Academic Leadership-and Back Again." ABSTRACT: After 16 years at Duke University and 18 years at the University of Rochester, my academic career has taken several […]
We are developing non-destructive slide-free 3D pathology methods for clinical decision support and surgical guidance. In comparison to conventional slide-based pathology, 3D pathology provides: (1) vastly greater sampling of tissue specimens including whole biopsies and surgical margins, (2) volumetric imaging of cell distributions and 3D tissue structures that are prognostic and predictive, and (3) a […]
During this presentation, I will showcase two innovative hydrogel platforms we invented for enhancing stem cell differentiation and tissue regeneration via targeting cellular mechanobiology or immunomodulation. The first example delves into a unique sliding hydrogel design that facilitates the dynamic sliding of ligands and crosslinks along the hydrogel backbone. Using cartilage as a model tissue, […]
A central challenge in brain science is the relation between the structure and the function of the nervous system. Modern approaches to this problem get inspiration from the efforts of Cajal, more than 100 years, ago to map neural connections, but his work was insufficient in many ways. Now, with the advent of complete high-resolution […]
