Bio	Dr. Strong, an internationally known pathologist, well-respected around the country, holds the first Boyd Professorship awarded to an LSUHSC faculty member (this is the highest academic honor in the LSU system) and is the Head of the Department of Pathology at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. He has a broad interest in Anatomic, Clinical and Pediatric Pathology which includes teaching, research and clinical services to physicians and patients. His professionalism and boundless enthusiasm for his work and for LSU have influenced countless medical students, residents and graduate students to enter the field of pathology. His primary area of research is Cardiovascular Pathology, with particular interest in the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology and geographic pathology of atherosclerosis. His current research focus is with early assessment of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease later in life. He has a wide range of expertise, including post mortem human population studies of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis induction and regression in animal primates, and the natural history of human atherosclerosis.
Research Interests	Natural history of human atherosclerosis Epidemiology, geographic pathology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis Pathobiological determinants of atherosclerosis in youth Atherosclerosis in primates Geographic pathology of cancer
