If I were to be a scientist when I grow up I would most likely be a medical microbiologist. A medical microbiologist typically works at a hospital or a certain company specializing in microbiology. Depending on where they work they usually work at a lab and test the various affects of different substances on certain diseases and viruses, and attempt to find new treatments or even cures for diseases that are still a problem today. It is not an easy career to get into because a doctorate is very helpful in getting into this kind of work.
I have always had an interest in going into a medical profession and the study of diseases and viruses is especially of interest to me. I think I would also be good at it because I am a kinetic and visual learner and this is a very hands on job. It would also allow me to go into the medical field without being a doctor which is not a profession I'm very interested in. This job would also contribute to my ambition to help improve the way certain viruses and diseases are treated. Even today there are still many viruses that have no cures such as cancer and it would be a huge accomplishment to help find better treatments for these sicknesses.
Microbiologists play a huge role in getting rid of diseases and could save countless lives in the future. Already there are people that made huge impacts in the medical industry, such as Don Wiley, Tanya Holzmayer, Robert Schwartz, and Leonid Stratchunsky. These people helped to expand our knowledge of some of the most deadly diseases today and how they affect us. They showed what it really means to be a medical microbiologist.
