Lauren received the LSU Discover Research Grant this past January. She received funding for her research on opioid addiction and presented her findings at LSU's annual Discover Day undergraduate research symposium!
Her team built a predictive model to judge the likelihood that a person will misuse prescription opioids in an attempt to combat an American crisis that takes thousands of lives every year. After presenting her paper at the Discover Day research symposium her team's paper was chosen as one of the top 8 in the country!
We are so proud of Lauren and can't wait to see what she does in the future with her research!
