What a biomedical scientist does
Biomedical scientists perform all laboratory methods required as part of medical examination, monitoring, treatment, and research activities which involves designing, planning, organizing, applying, evaluating, interpreting and validating all analytical processes. They develop their activity in several fields of expertise such as haematology, microbiology, clinical immunology, cytopathology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and clinical biochemistry among others. This requires the application of qualitative and quantitative laboratory methods, including image analysis and digital pathology, to provide an investigative report and diagnostic opinion on products of a biological nature.
