In the design process, it was found that
the requirements of different biological laboratories are very different, so
they should be roughly classified and summarized, because the general
laboratory I envisaged before was proved to be suitable only for biotechnology
large categories, and microorganisms require additional design.

1.Biomedicine
Biomedicine is a branch of medicine responsible for applying biotechnology and other natural science theories to clinical practice. Biomedicine mainly uses knowledge of biology and physiology. Biomedicine is related to health and biology related fields, and has been playing an important role in the health system since the last century.
Biomedicine has many sub-disciplines and professional fields, and its name usually starts with "bio-" (bio-), such as:
• Molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cell biology, embryology,
• Nanobiotechnology, bioengineering, laboratory medical biology,
• Cytogenetics, genetics, gene therapy
• Bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems biology,
• Microbiology, virology, parasitology
• Physiology, pathology,
• Pharmacology and toxicology, many people think that life science can be applied to medicine.
General category, practical category,
including molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, microbiology, etc., is a
large concept group
2.Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a broad area of biology, involving the use of living systems and organisms to
develop or make products. Depending on the tools and applications, it often
overlaps with related scientific fields. In the late 20th and early 21st
centuries, biotechnology has expanded to include new and diverse sciences, such as genomics, recombinant gene techniques, applied immunology, and development of pharmaceutical therapies and diagnostic tests.
Sub-category, practice, insulin, yeast,
antibiotics, etc., specific pharmaceutical disciplines
3.Ecology
Ecology is a branch of biology[1] concerning interactions among organisms and their biophysical
environment, which
includes both biotic and abiotic components. Topics of interest include the biodiversity, distribution, biomass, and populations of organisms, as well as cooperation and
competition within and between species. Ecosystems are dynamically interacting systems of organisms, the communities they make up, and the non-living
components of their environment. Ecosystem processes, such as primary production, pedogenesis, nutrient cycling, and niche construction, regulate the flux of energy and matter
through an environment. These processes are sustained by organisms with
specific life history traits.
The main category, which contains the ecology
of animals and plants, is mainly based on macro research. Because the micro is
divided into other majors, I feel that I need to go to the field frequently.
4.Evolutionary biology
Evolutionary biology (English: evolutionary biology) is a branch of biology, which is concerned with the study of the evolution of the diversity of life on the earth. People who study evolutionary biology are called an evolutionary biologist. Evolutionary biologists study the origin of species and the origin of new species.
Subcategories, for studying the origin of
species, Prometheus warning, engineer warning
5.Genetics
Genetics is
a branch of biology concerned
with the study of genes, genetic
variation, and heredity in organisms.
Though heredity had been observed for
millennia, Gregor Mendel, a scientist and Augustinian friar working
in the 19th century, was the first to study genetics scientifically. Mendel
studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed
down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit
traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still
used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a
gene.
Sub-category, research genetics, included in
the biomedical category, requires a lot of cultivation, requires accurate
artificial conditions
6.Marine, freshwater and animal biology
Marine biology is the scientific study of marine life, organisms in the sea. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that
live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.
Many species are
economically important to humans, including both finfish and shellfish. It is
also becoming understood that the well-being of marine organisms and other
organisms are linked in fundamental ways. The human body of knowledge regarding
the relationship between life in the sea and important cycles is rapidly
growing, with new discoveries being made nearly every day. These cycles include
those of matter (such as the carbon cycle) and of air (such as Earth's respiration, and movement of energy through ecosystems including the ocean). Large areas beneath the ocean
surface still remain effectively unexplored.
Zoology is the branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom,
including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems. The term is
derived from Ancient Greek ζῷον, zōion, i.e. "animal" and λόγος, logos, i.e. "knowledge,
study".[1]
Main category, practical class, dealing with animals
7.Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms,
those being unicellular (single
cell), multicellular (cell colony),
or acellular (lacking
cells).[1][2] Microbiology
encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, bacteriology, protistology, mycology,
immunology and parasitology.
Eukaryotic microorganisms
possess membrane-bound organelles and
include fungi and protists,
whereas prokaryotic organisms—all of
which are microorganisms—are conventionally classified as lacking
membrane-bound organelles and include Bacteria and Archaea.[3][4] Microbiologists
traditionally relied on culture, staining, and microscopy. However, less than
1% of the microorganisms present in common environments can be cultured in
isolation using current means.[5] Microbiologists
often rely on molecular
biology tools such as DNA sequence
based identification, for example 16s rRNA gene sequence used for bacteria
identification.
Sub-category, research on microorganisms,
biohazard warning
8.Molecular biology
Molecular
biology /məˈlɛkjʊlər/ is the branch of biology that concerns the molecular basis of biological activity in and between cells, including molecular synthesis, modification, mechanisms and interactions.[1][2] The central
dogma of molecular biology describes the process in which DNA is transcribed into
RNA then translated into protein. [2][3]
Some clinical
research and medical therapies arising from molecular biology are covered
under gene therapy whereas the use of molecular biology or molecular cell
biology in
medicine is now referred to as molecular medicine. Molecular biology also plays important role
in understanding formations, actions, and regulations of various parts of cells which can be used to efficiently target new drugs, diagnose disease, and understand the
physiology of the cell. [5]
Subcategories, studying cell-cell interactions,
new-type warning
9.Plant sciences
Botany, also called plant science(s), plant
biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A botanist, plant scientist or phytologist is
a scientist who specialises in this field. The term
"botany" comes from the Ancient Greek word βοτάνη (botanē) meaning "pasture", "grass", or "fodder"; βοτάνη is in turn derived
from βόσκειν (boskein), "to feed" or "to graze".[1][2][3] Traditionally, botany has also included the study
of fungi and algae by mycologists and phycologists respectively, with the study of these three groups of
organisms remaining within the sphere of interest of the International
Botanical Congress.
Nowadays, botanists (in the strict sense) study approximately 410,000 species of land plants of which some 391,000 species are vascular plants (including approximately 369,000 species of flowering plants),[4] and approximately 20,000 are bryophytes.[5]
