Training the Next Generation of Scientists
Training here begins and ends in the laboratory.
When you join our School of Graduate Studies, you become part of a community of scientists working toward a common goal. With a student-to-faculty ratio of less than 2:1, every student receives a personalized and collaborative education and training experience. Our faculty members provide close mentorship to each student, helping them succeed in defining and achieving their goals.

NEW FACILITIES
The Center of Excellence for Emerging Viral Threats (CEVT) will open doors to a new facility in 2024. Scientists at LSUHS in the CEVT's Viral Genomics and Sequencing Lab have been sequencing SARS CoV-2 genomes since April 2020 and their work is a leading contributor to state, national and international databases for COVID-19 surveillance. The CEVT received two additional grants totaling over $1 million to support their genomic sequencing efforts.
The new facility will allow the CEVT to transition from a BSL2 to a BSL3 lab and expand its mission as a robust surveillance site for new and returning pathogens.
Why work and train in Shreveport, Louisiana?
Shreveport is the third largest city in Louisiana and is a wonderful place to live with beautiful parks and lakes, a low cost of living, almost non-existent traffic issues, a vibrant arts scene and home to dozens of locally owned restaurants in addition to national chains. Located at the crossroads of Texas and Arkansas, living in Shreveport provides easy access to cities such as Dallas/Ft. Worth, Hot Springs and numerous Louisiana cities.
Shreveport, and our sister city Bossier, have so much to offer that you have to experience it.
