The Clemson University incubator program for companies entering biomedical and bioengineering research should be open for business this fall at Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center.

Although details for the business program are still being worked out, school trustees on April 15 approved lease-outs for lab and office space in Clemson's Bioengineering Translational Research facility to research partners and companies.

Neither the school nor the hospital named companies negotiating for space in the incubator, which is on the fourth floor of the Patewood Medical Campus.

“We haven't completed agreements for the companies that will be housed in the incubator,” said Martine LaBerge (pictured at left), Clemson professor and chairwoman of the bioengineering department. “The facility won't be ready until the fall semester, and the ink is not yet dry on the term sheet approved by the board of trustees, so we won't expect to have those agreements until later this year.”

The companies will be involved in the research and development of biomedical devices and technology, LaBerge said.
