A doctor who works with Blood is a Hemotologist.\n\nA doctor who works with Infectious Diseases (which included viruses) is an Epidemiologist.\n\nCuring them?  Medicine is about treatment, where very few "cures" are found.  It is not smart business to "cure" a disease.  Do the math, which would make more money:\n\nCuring AIDS with one pill or developing drugs that must be taken a lifetime to slow AIDS progress.  Which brings in more revenue for your company?

Definitely an immunologist - I was a specialist at one time in leukemia research (immuno-oncology). \n\nHowever, you will find many doctors have some knowledge of immunology. Depending on your needs. \n\nSome dermatologists (skin doctors) work quite a bit in immunology in regards to contact allergies. \n\nEar Nose and Throat specialists work with immunology for inhalation allergies.\n\nIf this is a homework assignment, go with IMMUNOLOGIST.

I once worked in a clinical lab setting.  Actually, several of them and all of them were set up with a section for each type of testing. Checking on a person's white cell count, red blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin and hematocrit would fall under Hematology (the study of blood.)  You can also work in Blood Banking doing blood typing and cross matching for patients that require blood transfusions.  If you like to determine what patient's blood sugars, cholesterol, liver enzymes, heart enzymes and other such tests are, then you would work in Blood Chemistry.  Toxicology is the study of toxic or poisonous drugs (incl. illegal drugs) in the system.  Most lab technicians are trained to work in all areas so they can be utilized more efficiently in the hospital or clinical setting.  What you would want to do is get your degree and get Certified as a Clinical Laboratory Technician (ASCP or something like that.)  I would talk to my college counselor who should be able to give you more information on this career.  You will love it!

Dr. Charles R. Drew\n\nHis dissertation was on the condition of blood stored in blood banks, and the method of storing blood as plasma (sans white or red blood cells) to increase storage life. He then supervised the blood-plasma division of New York City's Blood Transfusion Association, which was involved in collecting blood for the British Army.\n\nThe storage of blood in plasma form has saved untold lives since Drew brought the process forward in the thirties, and he created the model for blood and plasma storage that is used by the Red Cross even today. His importance to modern medicine cannot be overstated.

Better don't do it. What for you are drawing your own  blood ? Is it for investigations ? If it so let the Lab.technician or nurse do It.

shahid assalamoalaikum, write to me, you can always retest the blood from another lab for verification and then consider doing what is known as virus load, you can always consider a second opinion too, good luck

A phlebotomist is an individual trained to draw blood (venipuncture), either for laboratory tests or for blood donations.

My best guess would be Genentech. Try looking it up on the web. I'm pretty sure they're one of the top.

Not sure about the Hartnell question, but I'm pretty sure the "Bond" doctor was Jon Pertwee. His character did a lot of stuff with gadgets (improvising a lot of devices), techie vehicles (Bessie, the Alien) and his use of Venusian aikido when fighting bad guys.

Virology, often considered a part of microbiology, is the study of biological viruses: their structure and classification, their ways to infect and exploit cells to reproduce and cause disease, the techniques to isolate and culture them, and their potential uses in research and therapy. A researcher in virology is a virologist.\n\nMore at:

Pasteur, he was a virologist who not only invented pastuerization but discovered many things about bacteria that are still in use today.  Google him.

Hi Frd_ngo!\nI've heard about the Dr. Edward Wiley. He's a good family man but has a bad habit at the race track. He welshed on a loan so, some goons had to be sent out to collect a payment. When the good doctor couldn't cough it up, they had to tie his fingers together in a most unpleasant way.\nMy girlfriend was unfortunate to be in the waiting room thumbing through the Ladies Home Journal when she had to witness the unfortunate events. I don't know if Dr. Edward Wiley is still practicing medicine or not.\nMason
