Robin Broussard

Dr. Robin Broussard is the Director of the Office of Research Integrity at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. 

She assists the University research community with compliance to federal and state regulations and guidelines. Robin oversees development of policies, guidelines, inspections, forms and training for the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, Institutional Biosafety Committee, Radiation Safety Committee and Export Control Compliance.

She has research experience with recombinant DNA, cancer research models, cell culture and microscopy (SEM, TEM, and light). She is well-versed in regulatory requirements that impact researchers and actively assists them in navigating the requirements impacting their areas of research.
