Biology for a Healthier Planet

Understanding biology helps us tackle environmental and public health issues.

  • Disease Control: Tracking the spread of infectious diseases (like COVID-19) relies on genetics and epidemiology.
  • Ecosystem Health: Studying biodiversity and food webs informs conservation efforts.
  • Pollution Management: Bioremediation uses microbes to clean up oil spills and waste.

Making a Difference

Biologists work on the front lines of global challenges, from fighting pandemics to protecting endangered species.

Examples

  • Genetic sequencing was used to track COVID-19 variants across the globe.

  • Certain bacteria are used to clean up oil spills in the ocean.
