Life Sciences: is defined as all sciences that have to do with 'organisms', like plants, animals and human beings. Life Sciences encompass companies in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, biomedical technologies, life systems technologies, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and other organizations and fields that devote the majority of their efforts in the various stages of research, development, technology transfer and commercialization.
