ABOUT | Center for Cardiovascular Diseases & Sciences

The Mission of the CCDS is to invest in the future of cardiovascular research on this campus through identifying and enhancing research opportunities for the faculty, creating a strong environment for mentoring trainees, and to facilitate clinical  scientists to increase translational research on our campus. 

Through this Center of Excellence distinction, we hope to:

  1. Grow the number of cardiovascular disease researchers on our campus
  2. Increase extramural funding to support CCDS investigator research
  3. Support training in cardiovascular disease research and treatment
  4. Promote clinical and translational research on cardiovascular disease
  5. Support local cardiovascular health through education and outreach

CCDS activities are supported by the involvement of 60 LSU Health Shreveport faculty members, including 39 basic science faculty, 13 clinical faculty, and 8 research faculty, encompassing 13 different departments (4 basic science and 9 clinical).
