Life Sciences Lab

Biology, Chemistry, and Technology in One Space

The Life Sciences Lab is a place to explore living systems up close. From biology and chemistry to health sciences and bio-technology, the lab gives you access to tools, experiments, and hands-on learning that help you understand how life works.

Open to all Foothill students, the Life Sciences Lab, along with six other Technology Labs and the ProtoLab, make up the Emerging Technologies Institute (ETI).

Inside the Life Sciences Lab, you can:

• Explore life-science technologies and study how modern science tools can help you investigate living systems.
• Test hardware and software related to life-sciences research, ranging from lab instruments to data-analysis tools.
• Conduct research and experiments — whether for class projects, independent study, or collaborative work with your peers.
• Participate in STEM workshops, training sessions, and informational events on emerging life-science technologies.
• Engage with curriculum-related courses and projects that benefit from lab resources and real-world scientific practice.
• Experience life-science exhibits and demos at both the Los Altos Hills campus and the Sunnyvale Center. Get hands-on or just observe science in action.
