Ekrity sectors
Biotechnology
Biotechnology concerns the application of science, technology, and platforms to living organisms, parts, products, and models. It can be used to alter living or non-living materials to produce knowledge, goods, and services. I use my biotechnology understanding to work in other areas like life science, therapeutics and diagnostics, and the environment.
Life science
Life science is the study of living organisms and life processes. It concerns biotechnology, therapeutics, and diagnostics, and the environment. It considers everything from the food we eat to the medical cures we seek to the plants and animals in our environment. Thirty-plus years of life science experience allows me to work in life science-related sectors.
Therapeutics and diagnostics
The pharmaceuticals industry produces medicinal drugs.
The medical devices industry develops products or equipment intended for a medical purpose.
Combination products combine drugs, devices, and biological products. Or drugs and devices. Or biological products and devices. Or whatever other combination you thought up.
All industries concern product manufacture, distribution, preparation, use, and sale.
Environment
The environment is all the living and non-living elements and their effects that influence life. The environment includes the built environment. The environment is the air, water, and land where humans, animals, and plants live. It includes the natural world that might be affected by human or animal activity. Environmental conditions can affect people, animals, and plants, and vice versa.
