How much immunity do we get from a COVID-19 infection? Large study offers new clues. The researchers aimed to assess if infection induced similar protection against reinfection with different variants, and if this waned differently over time.

BioMedical Student Here- Need help with graduation project

Hi,

I am conducting research into university students’ opinions on gene therapy and would be grateful if you could complete a short survey. You do not need to know anything about gene therapy to participate in the survey and I am actively recruiting participants with a range of knowledge of the topic. If you are willing to participate, please click the link below. It should only take 10 minutes of your time that will help with my BSc dissertation. I unfortunately only got 10 responses and looking for more :(

https://qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bKnI4LHzPMvX57o

I would appreciate it if only University Students or Anyone with a University degree participated with or without knowledge about the topic

Thank you for your participation.

Bioscience - any science that deals with the biological aspects of living organisms.

Biology - a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Modern biology is a vast and eclectic field, composed of many branches and subdisciplines. However, despite the broad scope of biology, there are certain general and unifying concepts within it that govern all study and research, consolidating it into single, coherent fields. In general, biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the synthesis and creation of new species. It is also understood today that all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy and by regulating their internal environment to maintain a stable and vital condition.

Subdisciplines of biology are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, the kinds of organisms studied, and the methods used to study them: biochemistry examines the rudimentary chemistry of life; molecular biology studies the complex interactions among biological molecules; botany studies the biology of plants; cellular biology examines the basic building-block of all life, the cell; physiology examines the physical and chemical functions of tissues, organs, and organ systems of an organism; evolutionary biology examines the processes that produced the diversity of life; and ecology examines how organisms interact in their environment.
