The Medical University of South Carolina houses a rapidly expanding scientific enterprise. The spectrum of research ranges from fundamental laboratory studies to applied clinical investigations. Many of these advances are occurring across traditional disciplinary boundaries. For this reason, linkage to expertise in areas underrepresented on campus, such as chemistry, physics and engineering, must be "built" through collaborative efforts. In addition, the translation of intellectual property to commercial application is an engine for the state's economic development.
