Infectious Disease Diagnostics

Tulane was founded as a university centered around public health and infectious diseases. Various labs throughout the School of Medicine have continued this tradition by creating novel diagnostics in the global health space, including a tuberculosis point-of-care test and a multiplex Lyme disease test. The university has also pioneered several CRISPR diagnostics ranging from SARS-CoV-2 to Cytomegalovirus to Borrelia and more.
