Director: Joseph Heitman, M.D., Ph.D. The Graduate Program in Genetics & Genomics provides integrated graduate study in all facets of genetics and genomics. This interdisciplinary program has more than 75 faculty drawn from over 10 departments in the Medical Center and School of Arts and Sciences. Laboratories provide diverse research opportunities including biochemical and molecular genetics, chromosome biology, developmental genetics, evolutionary and population genetics, immunogenetics, organelle genetics, and human genetics. Students design their Ph.D. program, rotating through three different laboratories to gain research experience and explore their interests. A Drosophila ovariole stained for actin (green and white) and DNA (red) allows analysis of the cell migrations and morphological changes that accompany oogenesis (after Edwards and Kiehart, 1996, Development 122:1499).   For further information, contact: Joseph Heitman, M.D., Ph.D. Director, Program in Genetics & Genomics Duke University Medical Center DUMC 3565 Durham, NC 27710 919-684-6629 genetics@biochem.duke.edu
