Dr. Marc R. Birtwistle's lab focuses on understanding cancer drug resistance, particularly in glioblastoma, by studying how cancer cells change states dynamically. They aim to develop new therapy strategies that promote drug-sensitive states while minimizing drug resistance. The research combines computational modeling with advanced experimental techniques to predict responses to chemotherapy and identify effective treatment combinations.

Adam Hoover's lab at Clemson University focuses on using technology to better understand and monitor eating behaviors in real-world settings. The lab is developing innovative methods that combine wearable devices, like smartwatches and smart rings, to unobtrusively track food intake gestures. By validating these methods against actual meal recordings, the goal is to create accurate and user-friendly tools that can help improve health outcomes by managing energy intake effectively.
