A new article by researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Clemson University in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) Research Protocols provides a roadmap for implementing an exposure notification mobile app among students, faculty and staff at Clemson, a large public university in South Carolina. The roadmap also provides a theory-based framework for

A team of MUSC researchers report in Frontiers in Immunology that they have identified a type of fat known as a sphingolipid that could predict the severity of heart disease in African American patients with lupus. The team was led by Samar M. Hammad, Ph.D., associate professor in the MUSC College of Medicine, and the study was funded in part by a pilot project grant from the South Carolina
For Argentino Calvo, a retired firefighter and paramedic from Bluffton, South Carolina, joining a COVID-19 vaccine trial was not just a personal choice but an investment in the health of his community. Calvo participated in the Novavax vaccine trial at MUSC, which was part of a large-scale study that recruited over 30,000 patients across 119 study sites in the United States and Mexico. SCTR co
When Miss America 2020, Camille Schrier, walked into the Norris Lab on the campus of the Medical University of South Carolina, she was among peers. Not other contestants but other people who love science and are affected by an uncommon connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or EDS. Schrier is perhaps not a typical Miss America. Her winning talent was a chemistry experiment, and

The workshop will include a series of keynote presentations (and Q&A) in the morning followed by
Researchers at the South Carolina Clinical & Translational Research (SCTR) Institute have developed a novel bioinformatic tool called RINS, the Research Integrated Network of Systems, that can be used to evaluate whether improvements to the clinical trial process are making a difference. Their results, published online on March 17 in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association
KL2 awardees from Clinical and Translational Science Centers (CTSA) present virtual lectures as part of the CTSA Visiting Scholar Program.

The Congenital and Perinatal Infections Consortium (CPIC) is focused on reducing the morbidity and mortality of rare viral infections such as congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, and neonatal viral sepsis caused by enteroviruses (EVs) and the related human parechoviruses (HPeVs). These infections have been grouped together because of their
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic forced the country to enact extreme measures to limit virus transmission. Academic health institutions implemented measures for the protection of patients and families, staff, and trainees. These included physical distancing, enforced by limiting visitors and non-essential personnel, to support infection control measures as well as
