Life Sciences Facility

This 100,000 square foot building is comprised of 3 floors of state-of-the-art research space, consisting of 25 “wall-less” laboratories. The LSF opened in January 2013 and represents a university investment of $50 million dollars.

🔬 College of Science

The faculty, staff and students of the College of Science focus, as a team, on academic, faculty and inclusive excellence, seeking high-impact and transformational experiences.

The College of Science has one school and four departments that offer 25 undergraduate and graduate degrees: seven Bachelor of Science, four Bachelor of Arts, six Master of Science and eight Doctor of Philosophy.

🌱 College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences

The College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences (CAFLS) is at the core of Clemson University’s land-grant heritage and is the beating heart of founder Thomas Green Clemson’s vision of a high seminary of learning that would reach beyond the boundaries of the academy to benefit South Carolina, its people, land, wildlife, natural resources and economy.

CAFLS brings together the land-grant mission of teaching, research and Extension through world-class educational, inquiry and outreach opportunities, and partnerships with private industry and state and federal agencies.

CAFLS students benefit from rigorous classroom and experiential learning opportunities in plant, animal, human, molecular and packaging science. The world benefits from CAFLS research discoveries that help sustainably feed a growing global population and conserve our natural resources for future generations.

🔬 Clemson Light Imaging Facility

One key laboratory in the LSF is the Clemson Light Imaging Facility (CLIF). CLIF is a multi-user core facility that houses an array of advanced light microscopes, cytometry equipment, and a fully functional molecular biology laboratory. Users have access to multiple confocal microscopes, a stereoscope, a laser microdissection system, and a polarized light microscope.

🧪 Eukaryotic Pathogens Innovation Center (EPIC)

The Eukaryotic Pathogens Innovation Center (EPIC), founded in January 2013, is an interdisciplinary research cooperative at Clemson University. It stands at the forefront of biomedical research on eukaryotic pathogens, which are the causative agents of some of the most devastating and intractable diseases of humans including malaria, amoebic dysentery, sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and fungal meningitis.
