Who is a Microbiologist?

By Lydia LIMBE

Microbiologists are scientists who study organisms known as microbes that are too small to be seen by the human eye. These professionals also study how microbes interact with their environment. This could include examining how they cause disease and affect the health of animals, humans, and plants. Immunology — the study of how human health is affected by microbes — is an example of this type of specialisation.
