Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.
Join the Office for Research and Innovation (OR&I) for a panel discussion featuring Duke Science and Engineering faculty who have successfully pursued non-federal research funding. Hear firsthand how they identified opportunities, built relationships with foundations and industry partners, and balanced these awards with their broader research programs.
These sessions are designed for researchers who are curious about diversifying their funding portfolio or just getting started with foundation, corporate, or philanthropic support.
Nephrology Grand Rounds are the primary teaching conference of the Division of
Nephrology. Both clinical and basic science topics pertinent to nephrology are

present once a year. Speakers from outside the Division of Nephrology and Duke
University will also be incorporated into the conference schedule.

Two epigenomic targets that potentially link environmental exposures to chemical and physical agents early in development to adult disease susceptibility are imprinted genes and those with metastable epialleles. Genes with metastable epialleles, such as the Agouti locus in the agouti viable yellow (Avy) strain of mice, have highly variable functions because of stochastic allelic changes in the epigenome rather than mutations in the genome. Genomic imprinting is a unique epigenetic form of gene regulation that evolved about 150 million years ago in Therian mammals.
