How do I get into Biotech sector resources what to study etc??
How do I get into the big biotech companies basically how do I study for it basically resourses etc If any one is working please share the experience about it I feel like thai is the next big sector that will be booming in the world that why I want to know how to stwp into this emerging field I am too curious about the things that are happenong in this sector especially with neuralink and kernal.. Help me know.
It isn't emerging. People have been working in biotech for the past 30years. We (Canada) even experienced a "gold rush" in the biotechnology sector in the mid 2000. I studied 4 years in biotechnology and 4 other years in biochemistry.
You'll need at least a master degree because this field is highly competitive for jobs. The salaries are not great, and people unusualy stay in that field for 10y before switching, unless you get a Postdoc and a cushy (not that cushy) academic position.
You need to define "biotech" since Nerualink is not biotech compared to companies like 23andMe or Theranos. As others mentioned, you need more or less a Ph.D if you want to enter a biology/biochemistry based specialty job since the pay is not good, a lot of competition, and you need to apply very specialized knowledge.
If you're more into Nerualink, Synchron you actually need an engineering degree and not a biology-based degree. And even then, it is primarily E.E. or Mech.E. not Chem.E. based degrees that have newer jobs. If you don't want to go for a Ph.D., I would recommend an engineering degree although a Biomedical Engineering degree will limit your job options.
I am more into the neuralink things more.. Can you suggest more Btw what these companies are if they ate not biotech then???
Do a PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, etc.
If you're particularly interested in neuralink and the like, do a PhD in neurobiology.
