SKC Life Sciences in Brief...
The Life Sciences program at SKC offers two- and four-year degrees in General and Life Sciences that are designed to teach students about how molecules interact within living cells, through the study of molecular and cellular biology and chemistry.
Active, hands-on research experience is an integral part of the Life Sciences program. This program offers competitive, paid laboratory internships, as well as academic credit for working in SKC's two research laboratories: The Environmental Health & Chemistry Laboratory, and the Cellular & Molecular Biology Laboratory.

Community Outreach
The Department of Life Sciences recently hosted a group (right) from the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The group presented information on pathways and career opportunities for SKC students interested in biomedicine.
The group also gave excellent scientific talks to the Advanced Biochemistry students on the role of lipid signaling/metabolism in kidney and gastrointestinal cancer. The group also discussed bioinformatics and computational approaches used to study lung squamous cell carcinoma.
