Discovery Biologist
Researchers who make discoveries about the molecular basis of biological processes are known as discovery biologists. Discovery biologists often work in academic or industrial research laboratories and use a variety of techniques to study cells, genes, and proteins. They may also work with animal models to study diseases and develop new treatments.
Education and Training
Discovery biologists typically have a bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, or a related field. They may also have a master's degree or doctorate in a related field. Discovery biologists must have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and mathematics.
