ClinTrUSC
The Center for Clinical & Translational Research at the University of South Carolina
(ClinTrUSC) was established to address the critical need for advanced clinical and
translational research in the Midlands of South Carolina.
Advancing Clinical and Translational Research
ClinTrUSC serves as a central hub for advancing clinical and translational research
in the Midlands of South Carolina. Supported by a competitive NIH/NIGMS CTR-D award,
ClinTrUSC was established to expand research capacity and connect researchers with
the infrastructure and partnerships needed to conduct high-quality clinical and translational
research.
ClinTrUSC Cores
This mission of ClinTrUSC is carried out through a set of specialized cores that bring
together complementary areas of support offering investigators the expertise and resources
needed to advance clinical and translational research.
Collectively, the ClinTrUSC Core’s provide governance and coordination, connections
with communities and health systems, fosters research through pilot projects, expands
opportunities for professional development, infrastructure for research data compliance,
and evaluating health outcomes with advanced techniques. The ClinTrUSC cores create
an integrated framework that helps move discoveries from concept to real-world impact
on health.

Train Your Brain SC: An Exercise Intervention for People with Cognitive Impairments
This project aims to develop and evaluate a structured exercise and coaching program for individuals with mild to moderate cognitive impairments in South Carolina. By expanding access to structured exercise interventions, this study addresses a critical gap in care for individuals experiencing cognitive decline.
Investigating Factors Underlying the Progression of Diabetes Complications
This project is investigating if the incidence of specific protein modifications is associated with the progression of diabetes-related complications. Diabetes affects a significant portion of South Carolina's population and is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, and amputations. The study focuses on the measurement of stable protein adducts that are representative of maladaptive mitochondrial metabolism that may drive inflammation during diabetes.
