Our Mission

KTBS 3 - Six students in the Biotechnology Magnet Academy (BTA) at Southwood High School are spending this semester conducting research at LSUHS. The interns spend three hours a day in a lab learning research methods and laboratory techniques.

LSUHS is excited to join universities across the United States taking part in the National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) during September. We celebrated our postdoctoral fellows with daily appreciation events across campus. 

Dr. Dunn was selected based on her significant leadership and lasting impact on the development and progression of the physical therapy profession continuously for more than 15-years.

At LSUHS, we are committed to training the next generation of clinical psychologists to excel in understanding, diagnosing, and treating neurodevelopmental disorders, with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Shreveport Times - "An Evening for Healers" celebrates heroes, healing and home, shining a light on over 100 first responders and healthcare providers directly involved with patient stories. The annual event benefits LSUHS.

American Society for Microbiology -  The ASM has selected Dr. Andrew Yurochko, LSUHS Professor of Microbiology & Immunology, for their 2023-24 roster of Distinguished Lecturers. Lecturers are chosen through a competitive nomination process and only the most distinguished lecturers and researchers are chosen to participate.

The LSU Health Shreveport Foundation returned with its annual fundraising event, An Evening for Healers, on Thursday, August 31. For 12 years, the event has served as a platform to honor and celebrate the Shreveport-Bossier community's first responders, physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and other healthcare providers.

Shreveport Times - We want to congratulate Dr. Kiran Chahal, Dr. Shawn McNeil, and Dr. Krista Queen for their selection as honorees for excelling in their careers, professional development, volunteer efforts and community leadership.

Webtimes.UK - Dr. Jeremy Kamil, Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at LSUHS shares, "I’d rather have people complaining that we’re not naming enough than that we’re naming too many. It’s like if you sound a fire alarm all the time, people will stop evacuating the building quickly.”

The recent site visit and AAHRPP reaccreditation indicates that LSUHS adheres to the highest ethical and professional standards for human research protection and participation.
