They collaborate with other scientists, engineers, and technicians to design and develop new technologies. Biologists also ensure compliance with regulatory standards and ethical guidelines. Important skills include problem-solving, critical thinking, data analysis, and strong communication skills. They must have hands-on experience with various lab equipment and biotechnological techniques. A solid understanding of molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, and biochemistry is crucial in this role.
