Duke Clinical Research

Best employer for new grads? Duke 🎓

We’re not saying it’s because of the clinical trials, the research shaping the future, and the whole “work that actually matters” thing…

…but we’re also not not saying that 😌

Totally normal first job experience.

Hantavirus Starts with the Environment 🧫

Duke researchers at Duke Lemur Center are taking a closer look at how environmental changes may influence the spread of rare diseases like hantavirus.

Hantavirus is carried by rodents, which can spread the virus through their urine, droppings, or saliva... often without appearing sick. Their work suggests it’s not just about rodents, but where they live and how landscapes are changing.

Understanding those patterns could help reduce risk before it reaches people.

Could environmental changes affect hantavirus risk? Duke researchers think so As officials monitor a rare hantavirus outbreak, Duke researchers are examining how environmental changes may influence where disease-carrying rodents thrive. The findings suggest more diverse landscapes could help reduce disease risk.

Good research starts with listening.

At Duke, community members aren’t just participants—they’re partners helping shape studies so they actually work in the real world.

Because better partnerships = better health. 🤝
