What is Bioscience ? This is a course that aims for students to develop an understanding of the complexity and diversity of life processes through the study of a range of modules. Modules include; Molecular biotechnology Immunology Cell biology Biochemistry Applied biology Microbiology Botany Zoology Development biology
Bioscience courses can take you in a wide range of directions, and the beautiful thing about it is that it’s not static. The constant updates to research methods and technology found in the biosciences allow us to learn throughout our careers .

The pharmaceutical industry develops ,and markets drug or pharmaceuticals licensed for use as medications. It’s into perfecting the purification of organic compounds from coal tar and other mineral sources and also established rudimentary methods in organic chemical synthesis. It is also involved in the purification of biological materials. The pharm company is allowed to deal in generics generics or brand medications and medical devices.
It is subject to a variety of laws and regulations regarding the patenting, testing and ensuring safety and efficacy and marketing of drugs . For instance, in Nigeria, we have regulatory bodies like; NAFDAC, SON, NESREA, PSN, PCN, ministry of health(both at the state and federal levels), LASEPA etc. others include international bodies like WHO qualifications.
The pharm industry traces it roots to two sources- the local apothecaries distributing botanical drugs such as morphine and quine the large scale manufacture in the 1800s by the multinational corporations including; Merck, Hoffman la Roche, Burroughs- Wellcome (now GlaxoSmithKline),Abbott laboratories, Eli lilly and Upjohn (now part of Pfizer). Alexander Fleming penicillin(a professor of bacteriology) Robert Koch BCG (bovis bacille calmette Guerin) discovered by a microbiologist. They hey also so helped lped in appli licat ation ion of drugs s like; e; Insulin Adrenalin(epinephrine) Immunotherapy and chemotherapy in cancer Kidney transplant Faecal transplant Genetic engineering
What did id they y do? Produced antibiotics Worked on toxins in form of chemicals to kill target substances and cells that cause harm to the living systems Used the knowledge of genetics, immunology to identify causes and proffer solutions. Used technology to produce large quantities of potential drug for medical purposes.
This is the study of micro-organisms such as bacteria, protozoa parasites, viruses and fungi. The study helps us to explore how micro- organisms cause infectious diseases, become drug resistant, contribute to our health, assist us to absorb food. It also assists us to know their natural habitat and how well to multiply them.
This is the science which combines biology with technology. It uses living systems and organisms to develop or make useful products or any technological application. It uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof to make or modify products or processes for specific use. Since it’s the applied knowledge of biology, it seeks to duplicate or change the function of a living cell so it will work in a more predictable and controllable way. It uses advances in genetics research to develop products for human diseases and conditions.
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes and chemical transformations in living organisms. Some others study DNAs, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, and cell biology that is, the molecular aspect of life. They focus on planning and conducting research experiments, mainly for developing new products. They also study the origin, formation, function, deficiency, symptoms of chemical reactions in living organisms.
Is the understanding of how organisms work from subcellular to whole organisms. It involves the use of living organisms(mostly microbes) to produce useful products. It also includes traditional processes like brewing, cheese making and modern developments such as genetic engineering which can lead to new drugs against cancer and other diseases.
