Overview
About Triangle Center for Evolutionary Medicine
The Triangle Center for Evolutionary Medicine (TriCEM) is a nonprofit institute exploring the intersection of evolutionary science and medicine. We promote innovative developments in the theory and practice of evolutionary medicine by fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations among Triangle-based scholars, physicians, veterinarians, public health workers, and more.
Evolutionary medicine encompasses any study that examines medical and health-related themes in the context of evolutionary and ecological science. The integrative nature of this emerging field provides fertile ground for a number of research topics across disciplines such as epidemiology, psychology, cancer research, global health, veterinary science, and microbiology.
TriCEM is jointly operated by Duke University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with strong partnerships with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
