The South Carolina Centers of Economic Excellence Program was established by the South Carolina General Assembly in 2002, with money appropriated from the South Carolina Education Lottery Account .The legislation authorizes the state’s three public research institutions to use state funds to create Centers of Economic Excellence in research areas that will advance South Carolina’s economy. In 2008, the Renal Disease Biomarkers Center of Economic Excellence was established in the Nephrology Division at MUSC. Dr John Arthur was named the director. The goal of the Renal Disease Biomarkers Center of Economic Excellence is to identify biomarkers that will allow identification of new therapies for both acute and chronic kidney diseases. Once the biomarkers are identified, the center will use them to evaluate new treatment strategies in patients with kidney disease.
