Duke Center for RNA Biology

An Intellectual and Educational Hub for RNA Research

The Duke Center for RNA Biology was founded in 2002 to foster research activities in RNA biology at Duke and in the Triangle Area. The Center now has a community of more than 30 laboratories at Duke, spanning 10 departments across the School of Medicine and the College of Arts & Sciences. The Center promotes research and training related to RNA and provides an environment to foster collaborations, physical resources to support RNA-related research, and a commitment to DEI through outreach, mentoring, and training.
