Biology is a modern science on the move. It responds to complex societal problems such as biodiversity loss, antibiotic resistance, adaptation to climate change, the fight against chronic or infectious diseases, food safety... In short, biology is present everywhere in society.

Biology uses a wide range of scientific and technological knowledge and approaches that enable it to address the living world in all its diversity (viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, parasites, animals, humans), throughout its evolution and at all levels of organization (molecules, cells, tissues, individuals, super-organisms, populations, ecosystems).

From knowledge of fundamental processes to multiple applications, the 21st century biologist is a complete scientist, wielding the scientific approach, as much in the laboratory as when out in the field (in natural areas) or when using computer analysis methods (and processing high-throughput data).
