scientists and have a vast range of opportunities.
Microbiologists work in almost every industry and
have many different responsibilities. The following is
a partial list of overlapping roles that you may have.
You will collaborate with many other scientists.
Depending on your specific situation, you may
perform more than one function or role.
Bacteriologist:
Seek to answer basic questions about bacterial
growth, metabolism, diversity and evolution.
Biochemist:
Discover and teach us how organisms obtain energy,
consume nutrients and reproduce.
Biotechnologist:
Manipulate genes in order to modify
microorganisms. Their work produced novel
organisms that make new products for human use.
(i.e. insulin, medicine, grocery store items).
Cell Biologists:
Explore the actions of molecules on and in the cell.
Their investigations determine how microorganisms
and cell function.
Clinical Microbiologist:
Determine the cause of infections in humans and
animals and what antimicrobials may be effective for
treatment. They play a central role in the detection of
new infectious agents.
Environmental Scientists:
Investigate the effects of biological, chemical, and
geophysical activity on the environment. Their
studies provide information necessary for helping
humanity cope with the consequences of life.
Geneticists:
The language of life is written with four letters, A, C,
G, and T. Each letter taken by itself is meaningless.
But together the letter create a code of life.
Geneticists study the process by which organisms
inherit and transmit genetic information.
Immunologists:
Investigate the body's defense against disease. to
answer basic questions about bacterial growth,
metabolism, diversity and evolution.
Mycologist:
Explore the various uses of molds and yeasts for the
production of antibiotics as well as food.
Parasitologists:
Investigate the complex life cycles of and
adaptations made by organisms which depend on
other organisms for survival.
Science Writer:
Write articles for the general public as well as for
microbiology professionals. They must have a
thorough understanding of language, grammar and
science.
Lecturers:
Educate students about the usefulness and
uniqueness of microorganisms.
Virologists:
Study viruses and bacteriophages. Virologists are
interested in how viruses change and are always on
the alert for new types.
