virologists
Infectious disease scientists
Virologists are scientists who study viruses—their structure, behavior, how they infect hosts, and how they evolve.
The field gained public prominence during disease outbreaks when virologists help identify pathogens and develop vaccines or treatments.
Virologists worked around the clock to sequence the new variant.
The singular is virologist.
