The Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy has 20 full-time faculty who teach in all five professional schools at LSUHSC: Allied Health, Dentistry, Medicine, Graduate Studies, and Nursing. The Department has extramurally funded research programs in the areas of developmental cell and neurobiology, reproductive biology, and systems neuroscience. The Department has recently established two training programs. The Program in Development, Cell & Neurobiology offers graduate training leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Areas of research concentration are cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, and neurobiology. The goal of the program is to train promising students for competitive careers in research and teaching. Students are encouraged to develop broad expertise in the disciplines of biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology and cell physiology. The Program in Clinical Anatomy is designed to train graduate students in the discipline of gross anatomy in order to meet a critical need in medical centers for faculty with expertise in instruction in clinically oriented gross anatomy. The department has close affiliations with the Neuroscience, Cancer, and Oral and Craniofacial Biology Centers and with the Program in Gene Therapy. The Department manages several core research facilities, including a transgenic facility, electron microscopy suite, and computer imaging laboratory. The Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy contributes to a variety of programs at the School of Dentistry. The Department is responsible for instruction of first year courses for Dental and Dental Hygiene students, including courses in the anatomical disciplines of gross anatomy, histology, and neuroscience. The department also offers an advanced course in Postgraduate Head and Neck Anatomy for dental residents. Several of our faculty are members of the Oral and Craniofacial Biology Center of Excellence, and one serves as the Assistant Director of the Center. Department faculty housed at the School of Dentistry have research programs which examine basic cell biological processes of the oral cavity.
