Making a Difference, One Country at a Time
One of the hallmarks of the college experience is making new friends, but not everyone gets to do it in Tanzania. Carson Brewer is one of the fortunate few. The bioengineering major went to the East African nation for nearly seven weeks with two other students at the end of her sophomore year, and the […]
NEW PRECISION DEVICE COULD ADVANCE LOW-DOSE RADIATION CANCER RESEARCH By Clinton Colmenares
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.
