Amazing Biology
Students know about the life of the Spanish biologist, María Blasco Marhuenda (Spanish molecular biologist - 1st woman in the world to obtain the Josef Steiner award for cancer research in 2003).
Biology is the study of living things and their vital processes. In this sense, natural science offers a wide scope in this field such as the study of anatomy of human beings, animals, plants, other forms of microorganisms…
Nowadays, biologists and doctors work and research together to discover new treatments for certain diseases.
