WHAT IS BIOLOGY?
Biology is a boring subject Biology only involves memory work Biology is only confined in a room Biology is only for medical aspirants THERE IS NO MONEY IN BIOLOGY
Study of Life
Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology is a vast subject containing many subdivisions, topics, and disciplines.
HISTORY
The Institute of Biological Sciences (IBS) was created on March 23, 1983, by virtue of Executive Order 889. It was organized from the existing staff of the former Departments of Botany, Life Sciences and Zoology Today it holds the distinction of handling the largest number of courses and students in the University. In recognition of its leading role, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) confirmed its status as a Center of Excellence in Biology in 1999.
The Institute
Mission To become a leading center for teaching, research and extension in biology in the Asian Region.
Vision Academic excellence in biology with relevance to present day needs for national economic development, productive ecosystems and improvement of human conditions.

Microbiology
Microbiology (from Greek , mkros, "small"; , bios, "life"; and -, logia) is the study of microorganisms, which are unicellular or cellcluster microscopic organisms
Genetics
Cell and Molecular biology chiefly concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis as well as learning how these interactions are regulated.
Ecology
The scientific discipline of ecology encompasses areas from global processes, to the study of marine and terrestrial habitats to interspecific interactions such as predation and pollination
Plant Biology
It is the scientific study of plant life. concerned with the study of plants, algae and fungi, including structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, chemical properties, and evolution.
Systematics
Biological systematics is the study of the diversification of life on the planet Earth, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time.
Zoology
is the branch of biology that focuses on the structure, function, behavior and evolution of animals
Wildlife Biology
The biological study of wildlife which includes all nondomesticated plants, animals and other organisms.
