Molecular and cell biologists study molecular aspects of various cellular structures and processes. Their work can vary from finding cures to various diseases to developing therapeutic drugs to working on stem cell research and many other areas within the medical development field. A molecular and cell biologist may also find him- or herself working on research that involves cloning, gene expression, cell growth and development, and other types of laboratory work. Recording and analyzing various types of data is an important part of working as a molecular and cell biologist and will often be a part of one’s job.
