Now Registering: Career Development Workshop 2025, June 23 – free and open to all STEMM researchers (high school through experienced faculty/staff)
Here you will find information about various exhibitors and be able to download information. Many of the Exhibitors will be able to answer questions LIVE during the Networking session at the end of the day. See Symposium Agenda for times.
PLEASE NOTE: Although registration is open to all, this is private viewing event. You must register to receive the links to access the Symposium!
The goal of bioengineering is to develop innovative technology to resolve some of the most vexing health-related problems in the world. To achieve that goal, Clemson University’s Department of Bioengineering addresses intricate issues through exploration and interactive experiences, becoming a powerhouse of education and research.

The Instrumentation Resource Facility (IRF) is an integral component of the research and teaching mission of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Located within the facility are several major pieces of state-of-the-art biomedical research equipment that provide techniques ranging from whole animal through single cell imaging to analysis at the molecular level. The IRF also houses a full range of ancillary equipment that is available for sample preparation. In addition to serving as a resource for acquisition of primary data, the IRF also has the capacity for image enhancement and related data analysis.

Claflin University's NMR facility, in addition to its 700 MHz NMR, also has an automated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample changer to do NMR-based metabolomics research. The field of metabolomics focuses on changes to the small molecules that make up metabolism upon some stressful event or condition. NMR serves as an excellent detector of these small compounds; and statistical analysis is applied to many NMR sample replicates to increase the robustness of the metabolomics technique. Although a predominantly undergraduate university and HBCU, Claflin University has the third highest field NMR laboratory in the state of South Carolina, just behind the Medical University of South Carolina and the Hollings Marine Laboratory.

The Clemson Translational Research Imaging Core (CTRIC) is supported by two thrusts and serves the needs of our COBRE projects by serving as a portal to expertise, training, and mentoring in the following areas: preclinical validation of regenerative medicine approaches, animal models, surgery and bioimaging, utilization of stem cells, molecular biology, histology, and advanced microscopical imaging and biophotonics. The Core provides all the necessary support to develop ideas, overcome technical challenges, and lead projects toward significant outcomes. CTRIC labs, facilities, and expertise are available to all previous and current COBRE scientists and students as well to all SC specialists from academia, medical research institutions, and industry. Services are provided by two individual thrusts.
Thrust I: Bio-Analytical
Thrust II: Pre-Clinical Validation Thrust
The Biomaterials Engineering and Testing (BET) Core provides support for the synthesis, characterization, in vitro testing, and analysis of biomaterials and bioengineered systems as well as their preparation for in vivo testing under the Clemson Translational Research and Imaging (CTRIC) Core. The BET Core also supports undergraduate education through laboratory course demonstrations as well as facilities in support of undergraduate research and senior design projects. The core consists of three primary focus areas or thrusts.
Thrust I: Biomaterials Synthesis, Testing, and Characterization
Thrust II: Biomechanics and Biomechanical Testing.
Thrust III: Advanced Bioreactor Design and Development.
