A biomedical scientist also known as a biomedical doctor or medical scientist or clinical laboratory scientist) is a scientist trained in biology, particularly in the context of medicine. These scientists work to gain knowledge on the main principles of how the human body works and to find new ways to cure or treat disease by developing advanced diagnostic tools or new therapeutic strategies. The research of biomedical scientists is referred to as biomedical research. Physicians who combine clinical practice and biomedical research may also be known as "medical scientists" or "physician-scientists". In the United Kingdom, the term ''Biomedical Scientist'' has a different meaning than in other parts of the world, specifically referring to a class of healthcare professional that performs clinical pathology services. These professionals help to diagnose and manage disease through the analysis of blood, urine and other body fluids. == Description == The specific activities of the biomedical scientist can differ in various parts of the world and vary with the level of education. Generally speaking, biomedical scientists conduct research in a laboratory setting, using living organisms as models to conduct experiments. These can include cultured human or animal cells grown outside of the whole organism, small animals such as flies, worms, fish, mice, and rats, or, rarely, larger animals and primates. Biomedical scientists may also work directly with human tissue specimens to perform experiments as well as participate in clinical research. Biomedical scientists employ a variety of techniques in order to carry out laboratory experiments. These include: *Molecular and biochemical techniques * *Electrophoresis and blotting * *Immunostaining * *Chromatography * *Mass spectrometry * *PCR and sequencing * *Microarrays *Imaging technologies * *Light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy * *MRI * *PET * *X-ray *Genetic engineering/modification * *Transfection * *Viral transduction * *Transgenic model organisms *Electrophysiology techniques * *Patch clamp * *EEG, EKG, ERG *''In silico'' techniques * *Bioinformatics * *Computational biology 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「biomedical scientist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
