Exobiology (also called astrobiology or xenobiology) is the biological science concerned with living alien organisms. (DS9: "Time's Orphan") Exobiology was also a course taught at Starfleet Academy. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Host")
A biologist who specializes in the field of exobiology is referred to as an exobiologist, xenobiologist, or astrobiologist.
The sub-discipline known as comparative xenobiology is the scientific study of the physiological features of various alien lifeforms. (Refer to comparative xenobiological chart.)
On Starbase 515, an exobiology research division was located in room 03-1444. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")
