Duke’s Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics & Microbiology probes how microbes evolve, interact, and influence hosts. Trainees sequence pandemic-scale pathogen cohorts, build CRISPR antimicrobials, and program gut bacteria to secrete therapeutic peptides. Field collaboration with global health hubs turns lab discoveries into deployable diagnostics and phage therapies.
