The program is organized as an interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, and intercampus program, comprised of faculty actively engaged in biomedical research. The goal of the PhD program is to train scientists in a collaborative scientific community driven by creativity and innovation. Our PhD students can take graduate courses in any department at Tulane. They are mentored by faculty from the Tulane School of Medicine and the Tulane National Regional Primate Research Center. The curriculum is guided by a board of representatives composed of members of each department.
