Tulane Allergy & Clinical Immunology Fellowship
The Allergy/Immunology training program at Tulane University School of Medicine is a combined Pediatric-Medicine program with entry tracks for physicians who completed an ACGME-accredited residency in Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, or combined Med-Peds. First year fellows are accepted through the National Residency Matching Program. The program provides a 24-month-long comprehensive clinical training in adult and pediatric allergic and immunologic diseases. The fellowship is structured according to the ACGME Requirements for Residency Education in Allergy and Immunology. The mission of our Allergy/Immunology Fellowship is to train excellent clinical allergists and clinical immunologists capable of treating children and adults from any background.
Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (HLA) Laboratory
The Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (HLA) Laboratory provides around-the-clock support for organ and stem cell transplantation through specialized HLA typing, antibody testing, and donor-recipient compatibility assessments. Serving transplant programs, disease association testing, and research initiatives, the lab has been a trusted resource for advanced immunogenetics testing since the 1970s.
