Abstract:
In 2003 Duke University (Durham, NC, USA) launched the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) as an interdisciplinary network of centers comprised of scientists, engineers and physicians, as well as experts in law, business, economics public policy and ethics. Within this environment, the IGSP and its Center for Genomic Medicine form the hub for pharmacogenomic research discovery initiatives through collaborations with other scientific and clinical units at the Duke University Medical Center. The Center for Genomic Medicine specifically focuses on developing strategies for translating and implementing pharmacogenomic discoveries into the clinical arena; therefore, by harnessing the resources of the IGSP as well as other complementary centers on campus, Duke University is poised to accelerate the development of novel pharmacgenomic paradigms for the prevention and treatment of disease. These new treatment paradigms can, potentially, ensure that the right dose of the right drug is prescribed to the right individual - an often stated goal of personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics.

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:
