biotechnologist
Life science researcher
A biotechnologist is a scientist who applies biological systems and living organisms to develop products and technologies.
The field spans medicine, agriculture, and industry—from engineering insulin-producing bacteria to developing disease-resistant crops.
She works as a biotechnologist at a pharmaceutical company developing gene therapies.
