The South Carolina College of Pharmacy is home to five research centers, including three recognized by the State of South Carolina as Centers of Economic Excellence (CoEEs): |
The Center for Cell Death, Injury and Regeneration was established in 2006 and provides imaging facility through the use of five confocal microscopes which are also a part of the Hollings Cell and Molecular Imaging Facility. The center also is home to a multiwell plate reader. Ongoing projects in the center’s laboratory using the microscopes include Intravital Imaging of Liver Function using Multiphoton Microscopy, Autophagy/Mitophagy, Mitochondrial Permeability Transition
(MPT) and Luminescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy.
Director: John J. Lemasters
Endowed Chair in Advanced Technologies
Drug Discovery Core CoEE
The Drug Discovery Core provides a mechanism for faculty, postdocs and students to discover chemical agents that affect targets that they hypothesize to be involved in human diseases. The Drug Discovery Core provides the following resources: expertise for assay development; chemical libraries; instrumentation for high-throughput screening, including robotic liquid-handling and state-of-the-art cell imaging, and technical support for screening.
Director: Charles D. Smith
Charles and Carol Cooper Chair in Pharmacy
Medication Safety and Efficacy CoEE
The Center for Medication Safety and Efficacy was created in 2005 and provides the most current information, resources, and programs to help people understand the incidence, implications, and costs of adverse drug effects (ADEs), while providing useful tools, services, and solutions to improve drug safety and effectiveness – particularly for those most susceptible - children and seniors. The Center’s objectives are attained both through research and education/outreach.
