Biology in Health and Medicine

Using Biology to Stay Healthy

Biology is the foundation of medicine and healthcare. By understanding how our bodies work, doctors can diagnose diseases, develop treatments, and improve lives.

Applications

  • Genetics: Helps identify hereditary diseases and tailor treatments (personalized medicine).
  • Immunology: Understanding how the immune system fights infections leads to vaccines.
  • Microbiology: Knowing about bacteria and viruses helps prevent and treat illness.

Everyday Relevance

From washing hands to taking vaccines, biology guides our health decisions every day.

Examples

  • Using antibiotics to treat bacterial infections is based on biological research.

  • Genetic testing can help predict your risk for certain diseases.
