A branch of science that involves the study of living things, life science predominantly focuses on how living things thrive and change. Working as a life scientist requires knowledge in biology, as it is the foundation of field. Two theories are fundamental to every field of life science, and these are cell theory and the theory of natural selection.
Also known as natural science, life science is often complex, and most life scientists specialize in particular fields. Anatomy, botany, biotechnology, ecology, entomology, epidemiology, genetics, microbiology , toxicology, and neuroscience are some of the branches of life science. Many branches have been applied in the medical science field, including dermatology, endocrinology, gynecology, neurology, nephrology, radiology, and psychiatry.
Much of what is known about humans and many other organisms came from extensive study of other “model organisms.” Pest-resistant transgenic crops, plant-based fuel sources, and the use of natural decomposers for removing wastes are a few of the important contributions of the biological branch of life science. Meanwhile, organ transplant, stem cell research, and the identification of genetic predispositions to cancer are important advances made in the medical areas of life science.
