The mission of the CVTG is to provde an opportunity for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and residents to gain better understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology. Dr. Karen Stokes will preside over relevant literature discussions from key articles provided by the CCDS invited seminar speaker.
Biomedical Research and Industry Day (BRAID)
BRAID is hosted by a partnership between the Center for Cardiovascular Diseases and Sciences (CCDS), Center for Brain Health (CBH), and Louisiana Addiction Research Center (LARC), at LSU Health Shreveport, and Louisiana State University-Shreveport (LSUS), in collaboration with University of Louisiana Monroe and the Innovation Enterprise at Louisiana Tech University.
The target audience for this annual conference includes students, trainees, scientists, and clinicians conducting biomedical research who are interested in the interface between the laboratory and industry. There will be talks from scientific and industry experts, talks from trainees, and networking workshops will be available.
