Biomedical Science is based on generic health sciences such as anatomy and physiology, cellular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, epidemiology, and immunology. It also involves histology, pharmacology, mathematics and statistics, bioinformatics, bioengineering, biotechnology, and laboratory management. While medicine focuses on clinical practice and its implications, biomedicine focuses on laboratory research, and the development of knowledge, interventions, or technology to use in healthcare and public health. However, with the wide range of academic and research activities within this field, and the opportunity to generate greater economic profits, the industry extends beyond the hospital laboratory and into the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors.
