Centers + Equipment

Research resources at the University of South Carolina include cutting-edge technology, equipment, and specialized centers for innovation and discovery.

University researchers, professors, students, and their collaborative partners are working hands-on with the likes of the Siemens 3 Tesla MRI system at the McCausland Center for Brain Imaging; GE’s new portable ultrasound devices, which are being used throughout all four years of curriculum at the School of Medicine; and new genetic sequencing equipment at the Environmental Genomics Core Facility in the Public Health Research Center.
