NEW for 2026: SC INBRE is offering registered attendees the opportunity to meet one-on-one with representatives from various SC INBRE supported/recommended cores, as well as other biomedical-related cores located throughout our state during the Symposium. These sessions are in 20-minute blocks and will take place during the research talks – either in the morning or afternoon. We will contact those who complete the form with time and location for their consultation session after registration closes. Those groups offering consultations are noted. Use the Consultations Form (coming soon!) to request a meeting. You may choose to meet with more than one.
NOTE: You must be registered to attend the Symposium to have a session. The Consultation form is *not* the Symposium registration form. Use the Registration Link in the Quick Links list above to register to attend the Symposium.

Clemson University Genomics and Bioinformatics Facility, Clemson, SC
Consultations Available (Sign-up link to come)
The Clemson University Genomics and Bioinformatics Facility (CUGBF) helps investigators use the latest genomics technologies in their research. The heart of our facility is Illumina’s Nextseq 2000 NGS platform, which offers high throughput sequencing used in many applications such as whole-genome, transcriptome, and targeted resequencing. CUGBF offers services to support the use of the Nextseq 2000 from experimental design through bioinformatic deliverables. We also have a 10x Genomics Chromium X and Illumina Single Cell equipment for single cell sequencing. In addition to offering a full-service genomics lab and bioinformatics team, we pride ourselves in offering training to students to work alongside our staff members to learn genomic and bioinformatic techniques. Outside of the lab, we offer training and informational workshops to Clemson’s diverse scientific community.

Bioinformatics and Statistics Core
Our Core boasts a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster, “Secretariat,” with diverse nodes optimized for general purpose, big memory, interactive and GPU-intensive tasks. The Core team offers dedicated support with statistical experimental design, data analysis, pipeline development and statistical interpretation, making it an essential partner for researchers navigating complex genomic and multi-omics datasets.
South Carolina Translational Research Improving Musculoskeletal Health (SC TRIMH) (COBRE): Multiscale Computational Modeling Core and Advanced Fabrication and Testing Core, Clemson University, Clemson, SC
SC TRIMH’s primary mission is to develop a new generation of NIH-funded investigators by providing the intellectual expertise needed for one-on-one and group mentoring opportunities to early-stage and/or new investigators, financial support for investigators to obtain preliminary data and research infrastructure, through dedicated scientific cores, necessary for investigators to be successful in competing for NIH research awards. The specific aims are to:
Expand the critical mass of funded investigators conducting musculoskeletal research
Strengthen innovative scientific cores that support and advance musculoskeletal research
Advance the ongoing development of an independent, sustainable, multidisciplinary thematic program.
