Why do we refer to it as the life sciences and not biotech? Biotech sounds so much cooler than life sciences

You can add a cooler tagline line to life sciences — “The ScIeNcE of life.”

Meh. Still not doing it for me

Biotech medicines are derived from living organisms, while pharmaceuticals are not. They’re not synonymous.

All pharma and biotech are life sciences, so it makes sense to call the grouping of them life sciences.

I’m on a huge Pharma client rn and they don’t think of themselves as biotech, they usually refer to smaller/newer companies doing cutting edge tech development as biotech

There’s an actual definitional difference. Small particle vs big, living vs chemical, etc
