Integrated Systems: Integrative Sciences
Developing systems perspectives in undergraduate biology at Duke
In summer 2006, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute awarded $1.9 million to Duke University to develop a comprehensive program linking undergraduate biology education to emerging systems-level transformations in science research. Integrated Systems: Integrative Sciences will foster the development of a systems perspective within biology at Duke and will build new educational collaborations between Arts and Sciences, the Medical Center, and the School of Engineering.
