By Paul Alongi Clemson University bioengineers are launching a new research project to better understand cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes, an affliction that affects about 13 percent of South Carolina adults and cost $4.3 billion last year alone. What the bioengineers learn could help lay the groundwork for future studies aimed at finding new […]

Paul Alongi     Lee said patients who have suffered from spinal cord injuries have inspired her research, , particularly their courage and optimism.  “I believe the nanotherapeutics we are developing can provide a platform for drug therapies that can mitigate injury damage and lay the groundwork for regeneration, Lee said. “I want to see […]

South Carolina Research Authority has been awarded approximately $750,000 in federal grant funding by the U.S. Economic Development Administration as part of the 2018 Regional Innovation Strategies Competition. The grant will fund the creation of the South Carolina Medical Device Alliance to invent and develop products and bring them to market. The alliance is a […]

In August, 2017, Dr. Sarah Harcum was chosen to lead a Clemson team in an effort to better engineer Chinese hamster cell lines to produce vaccines and drugs for diseases such as cancer. Harcum’s team is part of a multiuniversity award to Johns Hopkins and three other universities that along with industrial partners, form a […]

With an $11 million grant from the National Institutes of Health Center for Biomedical Research Excellence, Clemson University has launched the South Carolina Center for Translational Research Improving Musculoskeletal Health, or SC-TRIMH, a new research center that will bring together scientists from across South Carolina to change the way musculoskeletal disorders are diagnosed, treated and […]

  Clemson University is working to quicken the commercialization of biomedical technologies through its participation in a regional technology transfer accelerator hub recently funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. In partnership with XLerate Health LLC, the health care technology accelerator has been awarded $500,000 for the first year of a potential three-year […]

My lab focuses on creating tools that aid clinicians to enhance their clinical skill in order to ultimately improve patient care. Towards this goal, we specialize in the development of technologies at the interface of human-computer interaction, state-of-the-art sensors, robotic technology and computational tools. Two key research questions that our lab focuses on are 1. […]

CLEMSON, South Carolina — Radiation is a powerful weapon against some types of cancer, but using the therapy is still more like a shotgun approach than a surgical strike, shooting a tumor with large doses of broad-spectrum X-rays that damage healthy tissue and cause side effects. In a study published in the journal PLOS ONE, […]
