The Department of Genetics is one of six basic science departments at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC). Research interests include genetic and genomic factors contributing to cancer and neurological diseases. Faculty within the department are members of the Center of Excellence in Oral and Craniofacial Biology and are working on the development of collaborative projects with other Center members. The Genetics Department also provides lectures to the dental students as well as clinical consultation on genetic disorders for which craniofacial dysmorphology is a feature. The Department of Genetics
and the Gene Therapy
Program share the
sixth floor of the
Mervin L. Trail Clinical
Sciences Research
Building at 533 Bolivar
Street. The Department
offers Master of
Science and Doctor
of Philosophy degree
programs in human
genetics, and the
current enrollment
is 14-16 graduate
students. Recruitment
of faculty is ongoing,
and two new faculty
members are expected
to join the department
over the next year.
Development of shared
core facilities is
being cosponsored
by the Department
of Genetics to establish
a supportive research
infrastructure. Our
goal is to continue building
a strong department
in which all of the
faculty members are
successful in attracting
funding and committed
to establishing productive
programs that bring
credit to the department
and to the health
sciences center as
a whole.
