Both basic and clinical sciences research occurs through the Center for Health Research in a dedicated research building on the Ochsner main campus on Jefferson Highway. Ochsner staff currently hold 2 National Institutes of Heath (NIH) RO1 awards, in molecular genetics (Effects of Intracellular Angiotensin) and in Cellular Immunology (B Cell Lymphoma Therapy). Several other grants from various foundations are currently held in the basic sciences.
