Medical Robotics Continues to Thrive in Latest Symposium
Duke’s Medical Robotics Symposium highlighted advancements in surgical technology, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers, clinicians and students
Personal, Environmental & Population Health
Duke engineers are deeply engaged in improving the health of humans and our environment — from understanding and ameliorating disease at the molecular and genetic level, to developing technologies to improve global health, to exploring the interconnections between human health and environmental quality. A hallmark of our approach is extensive collaborations with leading physicians and scientists at Duke’s School of Medicine and Nicholas School of the Environment.
