Welcome to the Clemons Lab

Soft Matter Science at the Interface of Synthetic and Biological Self-Assembly

The University of Southern Mississippi

The Clemons’ laboratory is multidisciplinary in nature, embedded at the intersection of chemistry, biology and engineering. Our primary focus is the integration of polymer chemistry (both covalent and supramolecular) with biology to provide novel function and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of disease and injury.

The Clemons lab strives to be a diverse, collaborative, and interdisciplinary team aiming to solve real world problems with polymer chemistry and biomedical engineering.

What does an Assistant Professor do? Apart from a teaching load, running a research group and mentoring students A LOT of time is spent chasing the money through grant writing- not always a glamorous job with lots of writing and set backs. It’s
What a great poster session for these two superstars and a chance to catch up with USM grad alum Kat Knauer! Conferences are such a great way to network and meet new people in the field! #ppc2023 #usmgradschool #grads #postersession
Give the people what they want. @tristan.clemons is back on the gram. First step fixing a brew for @claire.clemons at the office.
Back in the classroom for the Fall semester with some eager undergraduate students. Have any study tips? Place in the comments below!
Well this summer flew by! Huge congratulations to Patrick for completing a successful REU program in the @clemonslab . Not only working hard but also up for a laugh. @penelopejankoski completed the #biopacificmip Summer School at UC Santa Barbara and
