Physiology and psychology cover, between them, the field of vital phenomena; they deal with the facts of life at large, and in particular with the facts of human life.

The systems approach to biology will be the dominant theme in medicine.

My interest in biology was pretty much always on the philosophical side.

It doesn't matter whether it is chemistry or immunology or neuroscience: I just do research on what I find interesting.

We're finally moving out of the realm of solely discussing biology in regards to a drug-based world.

My interests span biology, though sometimes I feel like an anachronism, somebody from the Victorian era when there weren't so many boundaries dividing the sciences.

I did help to set up an undergraduate course in medicinal chemistry and made progress in modelling and analysing pharmacological activity at the tissue level, my new passion.

Perhaps arising from a fascination with animals, biology seemed the most interesting of sciences to me as a child.

Biochemistry is the science of life. All our life processes - walking, talking, moving, feeding - are essentially chemical reactions. So biochemistry is actually the chemistry of life, and it's supremely interesting.

Physiology is concerned with all those phenomena of life that present them selves to us in sense perception as bodily processes, and accordingly form part of that total environment which we name the external world.
