Biocontainment Laboratory—Tulane University

The Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL) at the Tulane National Primate Research Center stands at the forefront of critical infectious disease research. As one of the select NIAID-supported Biocontainment Laboratories, its work focuses on two vital missions: developing cutting-edge treatments, vaccines, and diagnostics for naturally occurring emerging infectious diseases, while also advancing countermeasures against potential bioterrorism agents.

The National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) is one of two National Biocontainment Laboratories constructed under a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The mission of the NEIDL is to generate and translate fundamental knowledge on high priority emerging infectious diseases for the benefit of the public health, locally, nationally and globally.

National and Regional Biocontainment Research Facilities

The National Biocontainment Laboratories (NBLs) and Regional Biocontainment Laboratories (RBLs) provide BSL4/3/2 and BSL3/2 biocontainment facilities, respectively, for research on biodefense and emerging infectious disease agents.

Glucocorticoids are the cornerstone of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapy in humans. They are often the drugs of choice when rapid and potent control of an overactive immune system is necessary. This was exemplified recently by their successful use in the treatment of patients with severe COVID-19. Unfortunately, glucocorticoids also have serious side effects that affect every organ system, and each type of human cell has a very different response to glucocorticoids.
