bioscience
Study of organisms
Bioscience is any science concerned with living organisms—biology, biochemistry, genetics, ecology, and related fields.
The term often appears in institutional contexts: the bioscience building, a career in bioscience.
It functions as a collective noun covering the life sciences broadly, useful when no single discipline fits.
