COBRE - Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence

	Our mission as a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence is to mentor a group of outstanding new investigators within the multidisciplinary and interdepartmental effort in cardiovascular biology. Under the leadership of Program Director, Daniel Kapusta, PhD, the program is energized and growing with promise. The program brings together a number of scientists with unique perspectives and talents. LSU Health Sciences Center’s substantial commitment to this program is made evident by the recruitment of new Department Heads in Pharmacology and Physiology. The LSUHSC Cardiovascular Center is poised for growth and entering a new phase of development as new researchers join in participation. This mentoring program increases the funded faculty base for research in cardiovascular biology and provides a platform for advances that will significantly impact our understanding of cardiovascular disease, providing new avenues for therapeutic management. This initiative is supported by four core facilities: Administrative, Cell and Molecular Analysis, Cardiac and Vascular, and Imaging and Histology Cores.
