It's More Than Research

At LSU, Louisiana's flagship institution, the research we perform is not only our duty, it's what drives us. From cancer and diabetes to coastal sustainability, energy, and agriculture, we improve the lives of our neighbors and loved ones every day. In the past year alone, LSU garnered $160 million in research funds, which returned $490 million in economic impact to the state.
