Southeast Xlerator Network
The Southeast XLerator Network proposes to create a networked and easily accessible regional technology transfer accelerator hub (“XLerator Hub” or “Hub”) to share best practices, disseminate education content, and offer products, services, facilities and other resources connected through both physical and online platforms for innovators and trainees in the Southeast IDeA states. Led by XLerate […]
SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Surveillance in North Louisiana
Viral genomic surveillance is critical for identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants that exhibit biological characteristics of concern for public health, such as escape from humoral immunity, enhanced transmissibility, and/or increased pathogenic potential. This competitive revision proposal represents a collaboration between two LSU Health Shreveport (LSUHS) CoBRE’s (Center for Redox Biology and Cardiovascular Disease [CRBCD] and Center […]

Mentoring Research Excellence in Aging and Regenerative Medicine
Mentoring Research Excellence in Aging and Regenerative Medicine: Aging is a biological process that is the major risk factor for chronic disease and degeneration during the lifespan. However, it is beginning to be appreciated that disease and degeneration impinge on the aging process, in something perhaps akin to a feedback loop. This suggests that a […]
Center for Translational Viral Oncology
Center for Translational Viral Oncology : The primary goal of this COBRE is to strengthen the biomedical research infrastructure in Louisiana by training Promising Junior Investigators (PJIs) who can develop independent research addressing a major health problem in our region. Virus-associated cancers remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in our region and disproportionately […]
