For nearly 30 years at LouisianaState University, we have been pursuing the line of research that examinescongenital deafness and other neurologic disorders in dogs, cats, and otherspecies. This has been an enormous, fascinating, rewarding, and ongoingendeavor that would not be possible without external financial and philanthropicsupport. We invite you to consider the Strain Lab as one of your top philanthropicpriorities. Please contact George Strain at 225-578-9758 or strain@lsu.eduto learn more about how a gift supporting our understanding of deafnessand reducing its impact can be made.Thispage and other pages are © Copyright 1996 - 2010 by George M.
