The LSU College of Science is a vibrant community of explorers dedicated to advancing science by tackling questions ranging from the vast to the microscopic. One of LSU's leading research and teaching colleges, it plays a pivotal role in driving discovery.
We’re Moving, Tigers! 💜🐯
The College of Science offices will be relocating from Hatcher Hall to the brand-new Our Lady of the Lake Health Interdisciplinary Science Building, 📍located at the corner of Tower Drive and South Stadium Drive.
We can’t wait to show you our new home! 🎉
Meet Joshua, a PhD student in organic chemistry at LSU whose work connects molecular design, biology, and real-world impact. 🧪
He researches new compounds targeting drug-resistant cancers and recently presented his work at an NIH conference in DC.

From parade routes to research labs, @lsu.bsky.social students are rethinking Mardi Gras beads. In Dr. Naohiro Kato’s lab, they created PlantMe Beads: biodegradable, 3D-printed throws that break down naturally and can even grow plants. Science meets tradition in Louisiana www.lsu.edu/science/news...
Yesterday marked 10 years since LSU Boyd Professor Gabriela González served as spokesperson for the 1,000+ member LIGO Scientific Collaboration to announce the first direct detection of gravitational waves.
