# Life Sciences **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/life-sciences/ **APIs profiled:** 22 Industry-vertical index for the life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical landscape. Catalogs the major public and commercial APIs spanning clinical trial registries, drug and regulatory data, genomic reference data, electronic health record exchange, laboratory informatics systems, and bioinformatics pipeline platforms. The catalog is anchored by shared schemas for the three core records that recur across this domain: the clinical trial, the drug, and the gene. ## Kin Score — 24.9 / 100 (emerging) Scored 2026-08-20 under rubric 0.12.0.
