The REDDI Lab has been at the forefront of COVID-19 research and is now tackling new and existing challenges at the regional and national level.
The Research and Education in Disease Diagnosis and Intervention Laboratory (REDDI Lab) is home to Clemson University’s first high-complexity, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified facility. The goal of the REDDI Lab is to provide regular, rapid testing of Clemson University students. Furthermore, by collaborating with the South Carolina Department of Public Health (SCDPH), the REDDI Lab continues to expand and facilitate diagnostic testing availability for the entire Upstate community as well as other institutions of higher education throughout the State.
The REDDI Lab currently focuses on molecular testing for infectious diseases through the development of new and affordable testing, but is working to expand testing capabilities to also include the following:
