Health & Bioinnovation
From its early beginning as a medical college with an emphasis on treating tropical illnesses, Tulane has long been a leader in health and bioinnovation. Today, more than 80% of our research grants are for health-related projects.
Faculty in the medical fields collaborate with scholars in the sciences and engineering to develop technologies and devices to cure diseases and develop healthier communities. A recently renovated laboratory space gives researchers a state-of-the-art facility for collaboration on health and bioinnovation projects.
Tulane research has led to discoveries like the connection between low testosterone and diabetes risk, the use of “nerve-on-a-chip” technology to study safer chemotherapy drugs, the development of a 15-minute test for Ebola and the role plants can play in oil spill clean-up. Current research projects include an investigation into the connection between oxygen in the brain and Alzheimer’s, a search for a more effecti
Macaques and baboons show success as models to study SARS-CoV-2

Researchers have shown rhesus macaques and baboons develop strong signs of acute viral infection from SARS-CoV-2, making them ideal models.
Scientists have published their findings regarding a comprehensive animal model that can be used to study SARS-CoV-2. The research was conducted at Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) and Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC), US.
The study evaluated three non-human primate (NHP) species (Indian rhesus macaques, African baboons and new-world origin common marmosets) and young and old animals, to determine susceptibility to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the development of COVID-19 disease.
