It certainly would not do for everyone to be the same in terms of academic prowess, interests and the level at which they choose to take their career. For scientists and scientific researchers, the impulse and dedication required to follow such a pathway are second to none. Whether you are currently studying at college or university or already professionally working in the area, progression is a natural focus.
With this in mind, here is how to advance and deepen your knowledge in scientific research for career progression.
Neuroscience
Firstly, the term ‘neuroscience’ basically covers anything and everything connected with the body’s nervous system, both in a healthy sense and when one or more illnesses have taken hold.
The typical duties and responsibilities of a neuroscientist, or neurologist, include the development and designing of intricate experiments whose purpose is to discover more about how the nervous system works and to develop new medical treatments for a wide variety of neurological disorders.
Biological Engineering
Biological engineering is the study of different biological procedures with a view to integrating them with core principles of scientific engineering, with the ultimate goal of solving medical problems with new and developing technologies.
Leading research facilities focused upon cell line engineering & development, for example, are the professionals responsible for diligently working to find vaccinations, preventative measures, and indeed, the entire eradication of serious and often terminal illnesses such as different forms of cancer.
Chemical Biology
Another incredibly prominent branch of biological medicine is that of chemical biology.Chemical biology combines knowledge and practices from the biological and chemical fields to study biological fields, whether that be a human, an animal, or a plant, with the roots of chemical biology being traced back all the way to 1828 when the urea molecule was first isolated.
Chemical biologists work to develop various instruments, recording systems, and innovative experimental procedures with a view to identifying energy, chemical composition, and changes in the chemical structure of both processed and natural materials.
Molecular Pharmacology
Molecular pharmacology is the branch of medicine and biological science that studies cellular pathways, components, and networks and how they are influenced, improved, or changed by different therapeutically-focused drugs.
Molecular pharmacologists strive to discover new and improved forms of medicine that target more specific branches of the same illness, discover why some drugs are more addictive than others, and improve the level of safety and overall effectiveness of current mass-produced and mainstream drugs.
Epidemiology
Epidemiology is an absolutely fascinating branch of biological medicine and scientific research that is solely concerned with working out why specific illnesses and diseases occur in different people and, indeed, groups of people. Epidemiology is, more specifically, concerned with findings relating to the population at risk of a certain illness, with epidemiologists working for a great deal of their time in a traditional laboratory setting. Epidemiology is simultaneously an incredibly skilled and exceedingly highly-demanded branch of biological science.
The above areas hold lots of promise of boosting your career and helping you feel like you are really making a difference in the world.
