Biochemist
Research or study chemical composition and processes of living organisms that affect vital processes -- such as growth and aging -- to determine chemical actions and effects on organisms such as the action of foods, drugs, or other substances on body functions and tissues.

Biological Technician
Assist biological and medical scientists in laboratories. Set up, operate, and maintain laboratory instruments and equipment, monitor experiments, make observations, and calculate and record results. May analyze organic substances, such as blood, food, and drugs.

Biologist
Research or study basic principles of plant and animal life, such as origin, relationship, development, anatomy, and functions.

Biology Teacher, Secondary
Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and hands-on approaches to help students learn. They utilize props or manipulatives to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

Biomedical Engineer
Apply knowledge of engineering, biology, and biomechanical principles to the design, development, and evaluation of biological and health systems and products, such as artificial organs, prostheses, instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems.

Biophysicist
Research or study physical principles of living cells and organisms, their electrical and mechanical energy, and related phenomena.
