2121 Biologists and Related Scientists

02

Biologists and related scientists perform basic and applied research to make bigger knowledge of living organisms, to administer natural resources, and to build up new practices and products related to medicine and agriculture. They are working in both laboratory and field settings by governments, ecological consulting companies, resource and utilities companies, chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnical companies and fitness and educational institutions.

Main duties of 2121 Biologists and Related Scientists:

1. Biologists do a few or all of the following duties

•Plan and accomplish studies of the environment, and of the populace, distribution, structure and functional characteristics and performance of plants and animals.

•Conduct environmental and green impact studies and organize reports.

•Study, recognize and categorize plant and animal specimens.

•Conduct experiments in plant or animal increase, genetics and breeding.

•Prepare reports and plans for organization of renewable resources.

•May oversee biological technologists and technicians and other scientists.

2. Microbiologists and cell and molecular biologists carry out some or all of the following duties:

•Conduct research into the structure, function, ecology, biotechnology and genetics of micro-organisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and algae.

•Conduct research into the organization and functioning of human, animal and plant tissues and cells.

•Conduct studies into the recognition, effects and control of human, plant and animal pathogens and toxins.

•Conduct scientific or laboratory studies to test, assess and screen drugs and pharmaceuticals.

•Conduct molecular or biochemical studies and experiments into hereditary expression, gene manipulation and recombinant DNA technology.

•Conduct study to discover, develop and purify, and evaluate new products.

•May contribute in the commercialization of new products.

•May oversee biological technologists and technicians and other scientists.

•May conduct biostatistician data analysis using computer modeling techniques.

•Biologists and related scientists may focus at the macroscopic level, in fields such as botany, zoology, ecology and marine biology or, at the cellular and molecular level, in fields such as genetics, immunology, pharmacology, toxicology, physiology, pathology, bacteriology and virology.
