Anatomic Pathology has a diverse list of specialties and over 25 full-time faculty members. Diagnostic consensus sign out conferences multiple times per week provide the framework for diagnostic excellence in the many subspecialty areas.
Hematology studies the blood and blood-forming tissues to evaluate presence of disease and assist in therapeutic interventions as clinically indicated. LSU Health Shreveport has highly qualified technical staff to assist you with any question in this area.
Molecular Pathology is the study of disease and chromosomal abnormalities at the molecular level to aid in diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of disease processes. The three areas of testing include genetics, hematopathology, and infectious disease.
Clinical Pathology has eight full time subspecialty trained and Board Certified Faculty. Oversight is provided for our Hematopathology, Wet Hematology, Coagulation, Flow Cytometry, Blood Bank, Apheresis, Routine and Special Chemistry and Point of Care, Lab Information, Microbiology, Virology, Parasitology, Cytogenetics, and Molecular Genetics Services.
Our combined research explores cell-matrix interactions, cell signaling, biochemical redox biology, and regulation of autophagy in chronic inflammation and cardiovascular remodeling.
