List of life sciences

This list of life sciences comprises the branches of science that involve the scientific study of life — such as animals (including human beings), microorganisms, and plants. This is one of the two major branches of natural science, the other being physical science, which is concerned with non-living matter. Biology is the overall natural science that studies life, with the other life sciences as its sub-disciplines. Some life sciences focus on a specific type of organism. For example, zoology is the study of animals, while botany is the study of plants. Other life sciences focus on aspects common to all or many life forms, such as anatomy and genetics. Some focus on the micro scale (e.g., molecular biology, biochemistry), while others focus on larger scales (e.g., cytology, immunology, ethology, pharmacy, ecology). Another major branch of life sciences involves understanding the mind—neuroscience. Life-science discoveries are helpful in improving the quality and standard of life and have applications in health, agriculture, medicine, and the pharmaceutical and food science industries. For example, they have provided information on certain diseases, which has helped in the understanding of human health.

  AI is also incredibly good at finding patterns in huge sets of data, which is vital for things like researching diseases, discovering new drugs, and predicting health issues before they happen. This transformation gained real momentum during the pandemic when life sciences and biotech companies were forced to quickly embrace technologies like cloud computing and AI. I've already discussed the importance of AI and digital health tech along with the shift towards patient-centric care and personalized medicine. These changes could make life sciences and biotechnology companies think differently about how much they charge for drugs and how they invest in creating new ones​. Ethical challenges with things like gene editing, genetic testing, and data privacy are also big concerns in the life sciences industry.
