LSU Health Shreveport scientists have recently received grants and fellowship awards from the American Heart Association, bringing a total of $800,000+ in research funding to our institution!

New preprints from our lab! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… and biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… which show that the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 is reduced in the endothelium in neurodegenerative diseases AD and ALS/FTD, and that this reduction can cause BBB disruption.

The Research Retreat was held on December 20, 2023, at the Petroleum Club. Drs. Orr, Kevil, Bhuiyan, Rom, Dhanesha and Mohamed each gave a presentation and overview of their lab's current projects. Thank you to everyone who attended and for your support.
