What does a Biomedical Science Research Technologist do?
The biomedical science research technologist is a member of a multidisciplinary team of researchers involved in the discovery, development, and production of chemicals, diagnostic products, and biopharmaceuticals. The biomedical science research technologist uses skills in molecular and cellular biology, immunology, protein chemistry, and microbial fermentation to produce reagents and products used in industry, medicine, and basic and applied research. Biotechnologists may work in virology research laboratories to select and identify recombinant clones and perform DNA isolation and purification.
