Reproductive Biology Center |
|
Because of cuts in state funding and to make more efficient use of resources, the LSU AgCenter has changed the status of the Reproductive Biology Center from that of a research station to a unit within the School of Animal Sciences.
No changes were made to the facility or to the staffing. The change was effective July 1, 2011.
For more information, please contact Dr. John Russin, Vice Chancellor for Research, LSU AgCenter.

| About the Reproductive Biology Center (Video) The Reproductive Biology Center is home to research benefitting humans and livestock. Through research involving transgenic goats, scientists have developed a life-saving drug that prevents clotting in heart patients. The center has a history of firsts including producing calves from the oldest reported frozen bovine semen, the first cloned pigs using embryo bisection, and the first domestic cat from nonsurgical embryo transfer. |
