Pediatric Research

The LSU Department of Pediatrics is dedicated to enhancing pediatric health by fostering the research efforts of our faculty and trainees. Through research, we aim to improve the lives of children and their families by discovering new cures, refining diagnostic and management strategies, and advancing health outcomes for all children. Our strong commitment to research empowers our faculty and trainees to develop innovative methodologies that enhance the health and quality of life for children and their families. This is achieved by promoting scholarly activity through comprehensive research training, collaboration, and the dissemination of findings, thereby enabling medical discovery to thrive.
