The person who combines both the biological and technological dimensions of science and makes the phenomenon of living systems real is called a biotechnologist (ANZSCO code: 234514). Their work includes the use of a biological and one chemical principle to improve products and processes in the field of medicine, agriculture and the environment so that the innovations in the field of biotechnology are not only produced but also in a responsible way. Their main task is to research and analyze data of laboratory experiments and research, which are directed at the creation of new biological applications that will benefit industries and communities.
The role description of this job has numerous tasks involved. However, they are primarily concerned with experimentation and research, this means that they are designing experiments, analyzing samples, data collection, and interpretation of findings. Also, biotechnologists administer lab jobs which involve the maintenance of equipment, lab safety, and handling of scientific data. Other than that, they are the connecting point between research scientists and the industrial partners and the masses. They engage in testing, documentation, and quality control to come up with useful discoveries and also handle technical communication to communicate the findings. They are innovative and hence the reason they invent new methods and means through which biotechnology continues to make the world a better place. They also have a common responsibility in the upkeep of laboratory facilities and also they must ensure that the regulations of biosafety are followed.
The profession suits the individual who is well-analytical and also very interested in science and discovery. The position is classified as level 1, and under normal circumstances, it will be a university degree in bio technology, biological science or other related areas, but long experience in laboratory research will be a prerequisite. The working environment varies daily and at times the working hours could be evening or during the weekend depending on experiments and project deadline. The biotechnologist is the one who ensures that the scientific knowledge gets converted into useful solutions to society, and therefore in the ultimate analysis, they are very important in the scientific and industrial world which is more like a living system.
