Research at the Core of Our Mission
At the LSU Health Sciences Center School of Public Health, research is the foundation of our mission and vision. We believe that advancing knowledge through discovery is essential to improving the health and well-being of individuals and populations everywhere.
Our faculty conduct innovative, high-impact studies across the full spectrum of public health and health sciences. This work spans local communities in Louisiana, statewide initiatives, national collaborations, and international projects—reflecting both our deep connection to the region and our global perspective.
From chronic disease prevention and environmental health, to health policy, epidemiology, and community health sciences, our researchers address the most urgent and complex health challenges of our time. Their findings not only shape public health practice and policy but also inform education, training, and the future of healthcare delivery.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to excellence, research at LSUHSC School of Public Health is more than academic inquiry—it is a catalyst for change, innovation, and healthier communities worldwide.
