WaveMakers 5k
What a wave of support!
Our 2nd Annual Tulane Cancer Center Wave Makers 5K was a HUGE success, bringing together approximately 1,100 registered runners and walkers to make waves for cancer research!
With picture-perfect weather, a beautiful setting at Lafreniere Park, and an incredible crowd of runners, walkers, cancer survivors, researchers, clinicians, sponsors, in-kind donors, team co-captains, staff, volunteers, New Orleans Track Club members and other community partners and supporters, it was truly a day to remember!
We're still tallying the fundraising totals, but one thing is already clear: Together, we're making waves for cancer research at Tulane Cancer Center and we couldn't do it without YOU! Thank you!

Research
Core Facilities provide shared access to advanced technologies, specialized equipment, and expert support that empower researchers to pursue innovative, collaborative cancer science. By centralizing these critical resources, the cores accelerate discovery and help translate research breakthroughs into improved cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The Tulane Cancer Center is organized into four Research Programs designed to take advantage of the expertise available within the Tulane community and to focus our efforts on areas with the most relevance to cancer research and therapeutics. These Programs are interrelated to promote interaction and maximize productivity.
The mission of the Clinical Trials Office is to achieve the highest quality of clinical research with a focus on the safety and the rights of the patients through quality service, education and training of clinical staff and scientists.
