Do biology researchers do data analysis?

Say a biologist does a series of experiments. Will he look at the data and analyse it. Will he draw conclusions? Or does somebody else do the analysis?

    Generally, researchers do their own data analysis, unless it's a very large project.

    Biologists were among the first users of mathematical statistics, which is largely a 20th century development. One of the first scientific journals devoted to this is Biometrika, which was first issued in 1901. Many statistical calculations can be done on computer or even a programmable calculator.
