The characteristics and significance of life science frontier

Third, the characteristics and significance of the frontier of life science as a big science

(1) It involves a wide range of knowledge

Throughout the life science frontier field, there are many technological integration and innovation. For example, life science, physics, genetic science, intelligent science and so on. In actual operation, it is generally divided into details, and it is usually necessary to formulate detailed theoretical basis and experimental basis. Observations are also needed during the experiment. Taking polymer systems as an example, the study of cytology requires a detailed study of anatomy, genetics, bioinformatics, etc. Therefore, many knowledge points are often involved in the study of life science. Through research, it is found that most life science research cannot be separated from basic disciplines, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and network information technology, etc. Therefore, we must attach importance to the development of basic disciplines, so as to better overcome the difficulties in the research process, especially in the medical field. The degree of dependence on basic information is high, and students should improve their basic knowledge.

(2) The combination of multiple research methods

On the whole, life science research is to overcome difficulties through the combination of multiple research methods and the use of diversified research techniques. There are many commonly used technologies, such as clinical observation, information technology, engineering technology and so on. For example, in protein research, it is necessary to use image analysis technology to observe the form of proteins, and use database to retrieve information systems. In the process of protein identification and analysis, new mass spectrometry technology, data monitoring, image analysis and so on are used for research and analysis.

(3) High dependence on instrumental disciplines

In the process of life science research, many things can no longer be concluded by looking at or calculating with our naked eyes, and we need to use tools to carry out exploration. For example, some tool disciplines such as computer science and data analysis are needed, and there is a strong degree of dependence on them. Mathematics is the origin of research, and it must be used in any kind of life science research, and it also permeates into various fields. At present, there are more disciplines have made good achievements, such as bioinformatics, and mathematical biological sciences, in some fields have obtained greater research results, but also the birth of a large number of related professional high-tech talents. CT, for example, is a combination of computer technology and X-ray technology, also known as computed tomography, and the scientists who invented it have won many awards.

(4) Direct application of research results to medicine

At present, many new disciplines are gradually emerging, which also bring a lot of good news to the medical field. The medical field has ushered in revolutionary changes, such as medical devices, medical means and drug research, which have great changes compared with the traditional. Especially the medical device industry, has been unprecedented development, medical treatment has also brought a lot of convenience. Many life science research technologies have been widely used in clinical practice. The emergence of these new things has solved many medical problems, especially some chronic diseases, which have been greatly improved, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and so on. In the 21st century, human research on genes has made great achievements, and genetic engineering has also been applied in clinical practice, which is not only used to prevent diseases, but also can play a huge role in disease treatment. With the continuous research of gene technology, gene therapy is also involved in the treatment of many diseases, including malignant diseases such as tumors. The development of life science and other science and technology has brought good news to human beings, increased the average life expectancy of human beings, and also played an important role in preventing diseases. These technologies have had a huge impact on medical treatment.

Closing remarks

The research of life science has been continuing, and we have been building a community of human destiny. Although we have made some achievements, there are still many problems that we need to overcome. It is believed that in the near future, life science and technology will develop better, and at the same time, it will bring convenience to people.
