The Biotechnology Learning Center (BLC), located in the Smithtown Science building at the Ammerman Campus, was created in 1997 to group all SCCC academic activities involving Biotechnology and Molecular Biology. The lab is a state of the art molecular biology laboratory that has been equipped and funded by an NSF grant and is maintained with funding from federal, state, and county sources, and by private corporations. The lab is dedicated to providing "hands-on" experience in biotechnology and molecular biology to students and professionals in all areas and levels of academia.

Feel free to explore the Biotechnology Learning Center Website.   Follow the Navigation bar to LINKS to further your research.   PROGRAMS will show you all of the events that happen at the BLC, year round, including the impressive BioPREP and information about LIGASE.  Lab Services provides information for BLC students looking for help with assignments or information about the companies that supply the BLC. Suffolk County Community College students looking to become involved in one of the most interesting and advanced courses in the SUNY system should follow the link to BY29 (ex. BY82): a biotechnology course that is offered on Long Island, the hotbed of future biotechnological industrial growth.

Students who participate in the various courses, programs and activities in the BLC may be interested in Dr. Rosa Gambier's Home Page.  There you will find information about the different courses that she teaches, as well as assignments and other resources that will help you to prepare for class and exams.

The Biotechnology Learning Center is part of LIGASE (Long Island Group About Science Education).
