Comparative Biomedical Sciences

The Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences conducts basic and translational research in diverse areas of biomedical sciences including cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, developmental biology, neurosciences, and toxicology. We seek to understand the normal regulation of physiological and cellular processes, which are dysfunctional in disease states. Understanding these mechanisms may offer novel approaches for therapeutic intervention.

The department is committed to advancing groundbreaking discoveries in the biomedical sciences, providing excellence in professional and graduate education, and serving and promoting LSU Vet Med and its greater community.

All who are interested in enrolling in a graduate program involving advanced biomedical research are encouraged to contact us for more information.
