CCEHBR Core CapabilitiesHarmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Research & Technology

RESEARCH

The Marine Biotoxins Program provides the most complete expertise in HABs and marine toxins worldwide. It has hosted and co-led the two decadal U.S. National Plans for Harmful Algal Blooms (1993-2004) (2005-2015)

NATIONAL LEADERSHIP

• “Marine natural products” chemistry

• Rapid Detection Methods

• Technology Transfer

Build the capacity to develop genomic tools for assessing the health of marine organisms (oysters, shrimp & dolphins).

CCEHBR’s Charleston (SC) Experience:ThinkTec - Charleston’s Chamber of Commerce

• Angelou Study – Focus on Cluster Technology• Technology Clusters in Charleston Area

- Biomedical - SC Bio – 35 new start ups in past 5 years and MUSC Drug Discovery Center

- Homeland Security – ThinkTec focus on Homeland Security Conference; SPAWAR and NOAA

- Marine – NOAA, NIST, MUSC, CoC, and SCDNR

Homeland Security• Major Economic Initiative in

Charleston

• Annual Conference is used to attract new companies to the region

• DHS focus shifting from Response, to Restoration & Recovery– Resilient communities

• Alliance for Coastal Technology Workshop
