Innovation is happening every day at MUSC, and the Zucker Institute for Innovation Commercialization (ZIIC) is helping make it possible.

ZIIC works with researchers to turn ideas into real-world solutions. Two recent examples include a new surgical tool from VayuClear and a promising cancer therapy from Lipo-ImmunoTech.

Both were created by MUSC faculty and are now moving forward with support from ZIIC.

The MUSC campus has been focused on connection for more than 70 years.

In the 1950s, the hospital bridge helped link buildings and people across MUSC. Today, our walkways serve the same purpose, supporting the daily movement of students, faculty, and staff.

These changes reflect a long-term vision to make MUSC more accessible, efficient, and connected—then and now.
