Biology is important to our everyday routines. The study of biology is the cornerstone of modern healthcare, from immunology, which studies the human immune system, to pathology and virology, which diagnose diseases, to pharmacology, the creation of pharmaceutical drugs.
Biological science is also instrumental in understanding our environment, helping us make the most of our planet’s natural resources and minimizing our impact. Everything from conservationism to food science to the study of fossil fuels and renewable resources depends on the research of biologists.
Biology is the study of God’s creation—all life and living organisms and how they interact with each other and their environment. Biology helps feed us, keeps us healthy and teaches us about the world around us.​​​​​
