Biological technologists perform a variety of laboratory duties requiring specialist knowledge and practical ability. They may be involved in ground-breaking research to cure a deadly disease or in assessing evidence that will help a criminal case be resolved. These professionals provide assistance to biological and medical scientists. They can be found in biotechnology firms as well as health and research institutes. 

They may work for the government or for private companies that manufacture food or drugs. They set up, run, and maintain laboratory equipment used in experiments and manufacturing. Working with robots, computer interface tools, and electronic equipment is becoming more common. 

Working with living organisms or organic matter, such as food, blood, medications, or pathogenic substances, is common. Biological technicians are frequently required to wear safety equipment when handling and analysing materials. They watch tests and meticulously record data that will subsequently be used to generate detailed reports. 

Technicians are frequently assigned to operate in groups or under the close supervision of a more experienced scientist. An associate's degree is required for entry-level occupations. A technician's arithmetic and communication skills, as well as higher-level education, can help him or her move to the job of technologist. This entails more technical responsibility and more remuneration. 

This is a career in which your efforts could contribute to a scientific discovery that benefits people all around the world.
