Question: @Simon: What was the biomedicine course like?

Hi Trinity, I did a Microbiology course at Uni but it had elements of biomedicine. I really enjoyed seeing how medicines are developed and have a therapeutic effect in the body. Also, how bacteria and other micro-organisms can be used to make antibiotics was amazing to me. At the time, my friends doing biochemistry were doing a lot of biomedicine and so were looking at working in Pharmaceuticals. My course was leading me to work in general microbiology which was fine for me as I was working in this anyway but I always dreamed of working in Pharma, and by keeping interested in it and taking opportunities to learn about it, eventually I got a job in Pharma where I am now. Thanks for asking the question Trinity. If you really are interested in biomedicine I hope you get to do the course in it!
