the term you're refering to is a medical scientist. usually medical scientists' have to have a bachelors degree in biological sciences, and depending if you want to do lab work, you have to also have a medical degree, which altoghether would take 7-8 years. medical scientists research diseases and such, and also try to find cures, vaccines, etc.

Theologically speaking some Christians would claim all diseases can be cured by God. I am not bashing them because I have a Masters of Divinity degree.
