The Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine has launched a pioneering initiative to combat the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the African-American community in New Orleans called The Skin You’re In: Coronavirus and Black America.
A number of departments across Tulane University are actively responding to the 2019 - 2020 outbreak of COVID-19. Researchers in the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, School of Medicine, National Primate Research Center, and Science and Engineering are addressing the disease on several fronts, from immediate response and containment, modeling to anticipate the disease spread, to development of a vaccine and treatments against the virus.
