One of the most important populations to genetic researchers is right here in Louisiana? It’s the Acadians. Dr. Xiao-hong Lu, a researcher at LSU Health Shreveport, talks about Gene Editing in this episode of "The Gene & The Acadians".

LSUHS leadership, faculty, staff, students and community supporters recently honored the continued growth of research initiatives and funding at the second annual Research Celebration event held on February 25, 2020.

Dr. Lu was interviewed and featured by SPECTRUM news on Lu's lab's recently developed new genome editing method to treat brain disorders. 

A discovery by Lu lab was selected from 14,000 abstracts as a Hot Topic by the Society for Neuroscience.

Lu Lab's research was published in Molecular Psychiatry-Nature and was selected as a featured cover article.

Kenneth E. McMartin, PhD, Professor of Pharmacology, Toxicology & Neuroscience, received the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology Distinguished Service Award at the North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology.
