The Department of Biochemistry participates fully in the teaching and research missions of the LSU School of Dentistry. Four faculty participate in teaching the Dental Biochemistry Course in the spring semester. One active and two emeritus faculty are housed on the dental school campus. Four faculty members are members of the Oral and Craniofacial Biology Center of Excellence. Their research activities include signal transduction and basic metabolism. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is fully committed to be integral to the development of the School of Dentistry and the Center for Oral and Craniofacial Biology and to contribute to further development and of these entities. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is an integral part of the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, which includes the schools of allied health, dentistry, graduate studies, medicine, and nursing. Department faculty have strong, diverse research interests including cancer molecular and cellular biology, neuropeptide and enzyme processing, protein biochemistry, gene promoter and expression analyses, molecular biology of aging, cardiac development, cancer genetics, and molecular epidemiology of cancer. The department offers M.S., Ph.D., and M.D./Ph.D. degrees. Students, postdoctoral research scientists, research faculty, and visiting faculty members make significant contributions to the department's activities. Strong collaborations exist with basic-science and clinical researchers within the LSUHSC community, with research groups elsewhere on a national and international level, and with established and emerging biotechnology industry.
