(Chattanooga, TN) – In late September of this school year, McKee Foods Corporation contacted Southern Adventist University’s Chemistry Department for a potential collaboration. Southern’s chemistry lab has some equipment and instrumentation that McKee Foods does not have, according to Bruce Schilling, PhD, chemistry professor. “We had them come over and tour the chemistry department and some of us went over there and toured the analysis laboratories at McKee Foods,” Schilling shares.
