Duke University established the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) to advance pharmacogenomic research. This initiative aims to personalize medicine by matching the right drug and dose to the individual patient.
Area of Science:
- Genomics
- Translational Medicine
- Bioethics
Background:
- Duke University launched the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) in 2003.
- The IGSP is an interdisciplinary network involving scientists, engineers, physicians, and experts in law, business, economics, public policy, and ethics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a hub for pharmacogenomic research discovery through collaborations.
- To develop strategies for translating pharmacogenomic discoveries into clinical practice.
- To accelerate the development of novel pharmacogenomic paradigms for disease prevention and treatment.
Main Methods:
- Harnessing the resources of the IGSP and complementary centers at Duke University.
- Fostering collaborations between scientific and clinical units at Duke University Medical Center.
Main Results:
- Duke University is positioned to advance pharmacogenomics.
- Development of new treatment paradigms for personalized medicine.
Conclusions:
- Pharmacogenomics enables personalized medicine by ensuring the right drug and dose for the right individual.
- Duke University's IGSP and Center for Genomic Medicine are key to advancing pharmacogenomic applications in healthcare.

Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
