A biologist is a scientist who studies living organisms and how they work, grow, and interact with each other and their environments. Their work matters because understanding life—from tiny cells to entire ecosystems—helps us address challenges like disease, food production, and conservation of nature.

A biologist is a scientist who conducts research in biology. Biologists are interested in studying life on Earth, whether it is an individual cell, a multicellular organism, or a community of interacting populations. They usually specialize in a particular branch (e.g., molecular biology, zoology, and evolutionary biology) of biology and have a specific research focus (e.g., studying malaria or cancer).
