Question

With advances in technology, doctors and surgeons are no longer the only types of scientists helping to treat cancer patients. Investigate the role of a physicist, mechanical engineer, biomedical engineer, optician, or computation mathematician in developing new technologies for cancer treatment. Create a job description that describes the education, training, and role of that scientist in cancer research. Also discuss the criteria and constraints that scientist faces.

Broseph, I'm going to say this straight up.
Biology is not my strong suit.  But I will try to answer your question.

The scientist would need a masters medical degree, Ph.D. and/or M.D. The scientist would be testing the reaction of different chemicals and scenarios on cancer cells.  The scientist faces the criteria of trying to slow down or stop the cancer cells from multiplying, and a constraint he/she would face is the fact that cancer cells from different DNA reacts differently than each other, so the problem is that a cure would need to work on all DNA types.

Hope this helped!
