The Oct. 24 retreat was held at the North Charleston Convention Center and gathered more than 85 biomedical researchers, basic scientists, clinicians, community members and students from around the state. The event, sponsored by SCTR and MUSC's Center for Biomedical Imaging, featured international keynote speakers and local talks presented by local and statewide researchers and experts speaking in 16 rounds within four sessions. This was one of two scientific retreats sponsored by SCTR Pilot Project Program established to generate ideas and new initiatives as well as support statewide collaboration. The next SCTR retreat will focus on mobile health technologies and is slated for Spring 2012.
