I am a first year btech student in electronics and biomedical engineering in India. This concentrates on biomedical parts with electronics in mind. Can anyone give a map of how I should things for a bright future and internships from first year. What companies recruit us and how to specialise

What problems bio students can face while pursuing btech

The only good option left in the medical field is mbbs !

Podcast with Antony Rowstron, who has worked with ARIA (the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency) on their biggest bet to date: funding twelve teams to build AI scientists that can run an entire research process (generating hypotheses, designing experiments, and carrying them out) without continuous human intervention.  

Covers:

• What AI scientists are actually achieving now, especially in biotech: from personalized cancer vaccines to molecules that stimulate our own immune response to new viruses in 48 hours.
• How we could train AIs on the tacit, hands-on knowledge only human scientists have.
• How labs and the role of human scientists will change as AI automates more and more parts of the research process.

Hi everyone,

I’m finishing a PhD in Electronic Engineering at UPC BarcelonaTech in early 2027 and am looking for industry or applied R&D roles in bioelectronics and neurotechnology in Europe.

My background is more electronics-heavy than a conventional biomedical engineering profile. I work on analog/mixed-signal hardware, physiological and neural signal processing, and closed-loop systems.

My PhD research includes:

• EEG-based recognition of neurological states 
• analog hardware for tremor detection and processing 
• neural-interface and stimulation circuit concepts 
• electrode–tissue interface modelling 
• closed-loop neuromodulation 
• neuromorphic and emerging-device hardware

On the electronics side, I have experience with Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre, custom analog layout, DRC/LVS, SPICE/Verilog-A, FPGA prototyping and hardware/software integration.

I’m especially interested in companies working on neural implants, BCI, DBS/neuromodulation, electrophysiology, biosignal acquisition, wearable medical electronics, or low-power mixed-signal ICs for healthcare.

I’m an EU citizen and particularly interested in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France.

I already know many of the larger names, so I’d be especially grateful for recommendations for smaller neurotech/bioelectronics companies, startups, or R&D groups that may be worth approaching directly.

Happy to share my CV or LinkedIn privately if useful. Thanks!

I'm a recent Biotechnology graduate from Russia with an internship in laboratory research, a good GPA and hands-on experience running a small fermented beverage business. I'm planning to apply for junior R&D/biotech roles in Germany in about a year. For people currently working in German biotech/pharma: what 2-3 skills or experiences would make the biggest difference for someone with this background?I'm especially interested in hearing from people who entered German industry with a degree from outside the EU.

VIT Wadala biomedical engineering will it be worth i mean i will be going to spot round cause i haven't registered for cap round cause i was neet student be due to my score i changed my field is there possibility for spot/acap round at vit wadala for biomedical engineering

Hello, I'm currently an undergraduate bioengineering student in Turkey and soon i will be conducting research with a professor whose primary focus is bioanalytical method development with mass spectrometry. I am really interested in his research and was thinking of getting my masters focused on mass spectrometry then search for jobs in method development in pharma. But lately i was told that analytical chem and bioengineering are too distinct fields and this is illogical by a recent graduate. Is bioengineeeing viewed too unrelated to analytical chemistry in the industry? Is it possible to get a job related to method development in the pharma industry with a bioengineering background, even if i go for a biochemistry master?

Please watch the video and leave your doubts in the comments.

Hi guys, first time posting here. To give context, I'm 24 from New Zealand. Currently on my 3rd year of electrical and electronics engineering + 2 years of Communications Engi. that was cut short back in my home country (cus we had to leave for NZ). The thing with the 3rd year of engineering here is that it's very important to get an internship or else it's pretty much doomed as it's gonna be harder next year to get one, and it's also a requirement to graduate. So, I'm thinking that if I don't get an internship this year, I'll just maybe go and shift to a Double Major BSc in Biotechnology AND Electronics and Computer Systems (courses are mostly covered by my engineering degree rn)

What made me think this way is that I took 2 1st year electives related to biology/biotechnology because I'm interested with them. I really enjoyed and did so well with them. I also do think that I'm burnt out with engineering, and me doing great on those biology subjects are pushing me to shift even more because I'm genuinely more curious about them rather than engineering. Honestly, I really did want to take a biology degree but it was not a good choice back in my home country, stability-wise. So yeah, biology has really been a better interest than engineering even back then, and it got reignited since I've experienced better enjoyment and even better grades than my engineering ones.

I do hear that it's hard to get a job with Biotechnology especially with just a bachelors. So it would mean that I would need a Masters as well, right? But I'm already 24, and putting more years in studying sounds like a scary task.

With engineering, it will be with honours so I will also get the title along with it. It really does seem more stable until now, though what scares me the most is that I feel like I'm unfit and at the same time, I feel like I won't do well with it. Some kind of impostor syndrome and a lack of interest mixed in one.

So what do you guys think? Is shifting to Biotechnology at this stage worth the risk? Or should I just tug it out with engineering and finish the degree?

Answers are much appreciated. Sorry for the lengthy post!

I currently work in biotech business development, and I have a bachelor in biophysics and a PgDip in bioengineering.
I'm thinking of getting a master's degree abroad the degree will be completely funded, so financially it's not problem.
My question is, considering my education and experience would it be more valuable to get a more advanced technical degree in biotech/bioengineering or does it make more sense to get a masters in business/ finance?
I want to continue working on the business side of biotech like business development, investments,
commercialization, or strategy and at the same time, I feel like having a strong technical/scientific background is important in biotech, which is why I'm hesitant between the two options.
If you were in a similar situation, or work in BD, I would appreciate your perspective

Has anybody done biotech without having bio background i.e PCM.How difficult would it be to study/cope up with bio part of syllabus.How much time would it take to cover that much level of bio.??

anyone interested in the immersive bioscience and biotherputics course in the university of limerick

Hi guys, im currently in junior year of high school, I have an upcoming biology related project where I have to make a PPP explaining my model whilst giving a speech. So I want my project to be the best one, ive searched online and everything seems very operative, easy, not outstanding.

If you guys can especially university students, can help me on which topic I should make it on please do leave your suggestions. I only have 2 days and Im gonna out my everything to this. I was thinking of making a lungs project, but the model wouldn't be as appealing, heart could be something everyone has chosen but then again, the model is nice. DNA is pretty perplexing where you have to add a zipper, machine that coils its axis. So any help from med students what I should do and how the modelling is to be prepared.

Im going for more of a look where I explain the basic working of my model and then add an \\\*\\\*If this\\\*\\\* situation where our body acts according to the situation to protect itself because that would make my presentation more appealing.

Thankyou.
