The National Institutes of Health awarded an $11 million Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant to the Tulane Center of Excellence in Sex-based Biology & Medicine. The grant funds the establishment of the Tulane Center of Biomedical Research Excellent in Sex-based Precision Medicine (COBRE-SPM). Dr. Franck Mauvais-Jarvis, MD, PHD and Dr. Marie Krousel-Wood, MD, MSPH, FAHA, FACPM serve as Multiple Principal Investigators for the COBRE.
