PhD Biological Science

Biological science, also known as life science, is the study of life and living organisms. Biology is a branch of science that deals with living organisms and their vital processes. Biology encompasses diverse fields, including botany, conservation, ecology, evolution, genetics, marine biology, medicine, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology, and zoology. It's a broad field that includes many specialized disciplines. Biological scientists study how organisms’ function, grow, evolve and how organisms relate to each other, their environment and where organisms live. Biological sciences drive advancements in biotechnology, which is used in agriculture, medicine, and energy. Some careers in biological science include forensic biologist, cytotechnologist, medical technologist, biochemist, business biologist, and biotechnologist. Biological Sciences is an extensive study covering the minute workings of chemical substances inside living cells to the broad-scale concepts of ecosystems and global environmental changes. It is also concerned with the physical characteristics and behaviors of organisms living today and long ago, how they came into existence, and what relations they possess with each other and their environments.
