How could an advanced civilization have no more than a basic knowledge of biology?

In my universe there is a human civilization that is advanced enough to have computers, computer networks, and robots, however they have a relatively rudimentary knowledge of medicine/biology.

They know enough to administer first aid, do basic surgery and provide vaccination. But they have no knowledge of DNA and know very little about human, animal and plant life on a cellular level.
