experimental biology

Experimental biology is the branch of science that involves observing and conducting tests to understand living organisms and their processes. Researchers design experiments to explore questions about how cells, genes, and ecosystems function. This field combines laboratory work and field studies, allowing scientists to gather data about health, behavior, and environmental interactions. The insights gained can lead to advancements in medicine, agriculture, and conservation. By systematically testing hypotheses, experimental biology helps reveal the underlying principles of life, ultimately contributing to our knowledge and improvement of human and ecological health.
