I work in bioinformatics applied to crop breeding/plant science.

    I'm also going to try and finish my Bs degree in Biochem and MolBio, and try to pursue the same path. What is your feeling about the field, tho?

      It's fun, while I say I'm a molecular biologist I'm also a bit of a generalist as my project became quite broad medical applications (I want to say some more but because it's rare disease it's nearly impossible without making myself a very easy google search away). Working with a rare disease is great, if you can meet patients and advocates you have a connection that's great motivation.

        I can't decide if I want to go through with a PhD, but I'm really interested in algae and its industrial applications. Is industrial biochem a thing?

            I think algae is the future of CO2 capture and could be valuable in reestablishing manufacturing in the US. Luxury gay space Chlamydomonadales/Chroococcales.

          Yep, biotech is a big field. Look into synthetic biology as a field as well. Depending on where you are a PhD is a big commitment.
