Biotechnologist
Study Fields
They study the physical, genetic, and chemical characteristics of cells and
tissues and identify practical uses for this knowledge, predominantly in the
areas of medicine and pharmaceuticals, food production, biofuels, and
environmental conservation.

What they do on a daily basis

depends on the sector in which
they are employed.
1) Medical Biotechnology
2) Agriculture Biotechnology
3) Industrial Biotechnology
4) Environmental Biotechnology

Environmental Engineers Environmental engineers study ways to minimize the effects of acid rain,
global warming, automobile emissions, and ozone depletion. They also
design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems
and research the environmental impact of proposed construction projects.

An environmental engineer uses the

principles of engineering, soil science,
biology, and chemistry to develop
solutions to environmental problems.

They are involved in efforts to

improve recycling, waste disposal,
public health, and control of water
and air pollution.

Biomedical Scientist
Their research merges the relevant basic sciences of anatomy
and physiology, cellular biology, biochemistry, microbiology,
genetics , molecular biology ,immunology, mathematics and statistics.
Biomedical scientists are, in essence, at
Biomedical scientists perform a key
the heart of multidisciplinary teams in role in screening for diseases,
healthcare. identifying those caused by bacteria
and viruses and monitoring the effects
of medication and other treatments.
Their work is highly varied, practical,
and analytical, and they are essential
partners to healthcare professionals,
who diagnose and monitor cancer,
diabetes, blood disorders, meningitis,
hepatitis, AIDS, and other diseases.
Biomedical scientists usually specialize
in one of four areas: infection
sciences, blood sciences, cell sciences,
or genetic and molecular pathology.

Marine and freshwater Marine and freshwater biology is the study of the plant and animal life in
Biologist these aquatic environments, to acquire a fundamental understanding of the
diversity of living organisms that inhabit these systems, the organisms'
structure and function and the interactions between them and the non-living
components.

Forensic Expert Forensic science is a practical academic discipline that involves solving
puzzles. Forensic scientists use their knowledge of basic science fields
like biology, chemistry and physics to investigate questions with legal
implications, such as inquiries about who is at fault for a particular incident
or what caused an injury.

to improve the flow of materials, and advise writers on content pieces.
They also have to create a content calendar. Some of the jobs titles that a
editor could grow into are editor in chief and senior editor.

Agriculturalists What is Agriculturalists?

An agriculturist, agriculturalist, agrologist, or agronomist is a professional in
the science, practice, and management of agriculture and agribusiness. 

Agriculturists research and develop

the most effective methods for
cultivating soil, rearing livestock,
and growing crops. This involves
animal care and breeding, crop
protection and harvesting, and soil
management.
