The REDDI Lab began as an internal operation at Clemson University offering Covid-19 testing for faculty, staff, and students and expanded to include free community testing in 2020. As Clemson University's first high complexity Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified facility our mission is to continue to serve the upstate community while operating as a high complexity public health laboratory for upstate South Carolina and design and produce deployable diagnostics, therapeutics, and screening systems for remote communities.
