The program provides a unified curriculum of study in genetics and genomics leading to the Ph.D. Areas of specialization include population and evolutionary genetics, microbial and viral genetics, human and mammalian genetics, developmental genetics, epigenomics, and plant genetics. This is an interdisciplinary program with faculty drawn from several departments (Biochemistry, Biology, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Immunology, Neurobiology, Pathology and Pharmacology and Cancer Biology) as well as from the Institute of Molecular Physiology.

Students admitted to the Program in Genetics and Genomics at Duke University may obtain a Ph.D. by working with faculty of the interdepartmental University Program in Genetics and Genomics or may obtain the Ph.D. in the home department of the program faculty member with certificate of graduate study in the University Program in Genetics and Genomics.
