Center for Public Genomics
The Center for Public Genomics (CpG) was established to explore the value of "open science" norms and practices as well as to study the benefits and risks of intellectual property protections in genomics, through historical, legal, economic, and empirical research. The Center is composed of three mutually dependent research projects and three cores that provide support for the projects.
The Center for Public Genomics is a Center of Excellence in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) Research co-funded by the Department of Energy and the National Human Genome Research Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.
CpG is housed at Duke University's IGSP Center for Genome Ethics, Law & Policy. Other Centers of Excellence in ELSI Research (CEERs) are located at Case Western Reserve University, Stanford University School of Medicine, and the University of Washington.
