Biotechnology at Clemson

Biotechnology research at Clemson began with plant genetics in the 1980s. Today Clemson scientists from many disciplines – including genetics, plant and animal science, biochemistry, materials science, and biological engineering – are working together in structural, comparative, and functional genomics.

The Clemson University Genomics Institute has developed an international reputation for building DNA libraries of plants, animals, and insects. Currently, the institute offers more than 150 genetic libraries for use by scientists all over the world. With major funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Clemson’s genomics institute ranks as a leading research and training center for discovering and analyzing genes important to agriculture, human health, and the environment.
