Visual Appearance
 * The Researcher wears a white lab coat, gray shorts, a red tie and bright yellow boots.
 * She also wears safety visors and holds an Erlenmeyer flask and a beaker, both containing a green and purple substance.

Strategy
 * Her base effect is to increase enemy attack cooldown, making the infected attack in longer intervals. Use this to your advantage and out-damage the hoard.
 * If you have a five-unit pad, consider to 2 melee units, 2 ranged units and 1 researcher to maximize their fire power.
 * Her base effect is not very powerful on its own, so keep on upgrading her to unlock powerful status debuffs.

Trivia
 * Researcher rewarded upon completion of Moscow.
 * The Researcher is similar to the Personal Trainer line, except she debuffs the infected to indirectly buff the team, while the ladder would directly buff the team.
