Duke University recently launched Duke Science and Technology (DST), a fundraising and faculty recruitment and retention effort aimed at elevating and sustaining excellence in the sciences. The effort is designed to accelerate the recruitment of new faculty and expand core research strengths in three main areas: resilience of the body and brain, computation, and materials science.
Sally Kornbluth, MD, provost of Duke University, welcomed a panel of scientists, all recently recruited to Duke in fields relevant to DST. They discussed the research environment, strategies for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and more.
