<p>requires skills in pretty advanced math, biochemistry, some physics and a little bit in CS? I would like to study all those majors but I don't want to stay in college for the next 10 years. So can someone point out that right major for me.</p>
<p>chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, bioengineering and biomedical engineering. </p>
<p>among them, chemical and biochemical engineering pay pretty well and don't require PhD degree to advance to higher positions.</p>
<p>Chemical engineering is one of my top choice right now. But I also want to study areas in Biochemistry. So I don't know if i can double major in biochem and chem engineering.</p>
<p>Under your criteria, I would strongly recommend you look into the following fields of study (interchangeable names for very similar programs): Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Biomathematics.</p>
<p>According to the fields you're interested in, I would seriously look into Biophysics.
Biophysics (also biological physics) is an interdisciplinary science that applies the theories and methods of physics, to questions of biology.
The study of Biophysics culminates the following areas and much, much more:
* Biology and molecular biology - Almost all forms of biophysics efforts are included in some biology department somewhere. To include some: gene regulation, single protein dynamics, bioenergetics, patch clamping, biomechanics.
* Structural biology - angstrom-resolution structures of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and complexes thereof.
* Biochemistry and chemistry - biomolecular structure, siRNA, nucleic acid structure, structure-activity relationships.
* Computer science - Neural networks, Biomolecular and drug databases.
* Computational chemistry - Molecular dynamics simulation, Molecular docking, Quantum chemistry
* Bioinformatics - sequence alignment, structural alignment, Protein structure prediction
* Mathematics - graph/network theory, population modeling, dynamical systems, phylogenetics.
* Medicine and neuroscience - tackling neural networks experimentally (brain slicing) as well as theoretically (computer models), membrane permitivity, gene therapy, understanding tumors.
* Pharmacology and physiology - channel biology, biomolecular interactions, cellular membranes, polyketides.
* Physics - Biomolecular free energy, stochastic processes, covering dynamics.</p>
<p>Hope this information is helpful!</p>
<p>Geez. That sounds really fun. Too bad I didn't know this major when i applied college. I hope the college I would be attending will have this major. If not I will just double major in biochem and chem engineering with 10 other minors. lol</p>
<p>Wow, youknowme, your academic interests are very similar to mine! So far I'm saying I'm going to major in biochemistry (I'm a highschool senior btw), but I'll definately look into courses in math, physics, and CS.</p>
<p>northwestlover, I am a high school senior too and my major is also biochem ! at least that's what I put on the applications... or did I put down chem engineering? lol I can't remember which one I put down. And I forgot to say thanks to sraalles1. btw, Which college are you thinking northwestlover?</p>
<p>Unlike many other CCers, I've only applied to four schools; Cornell (very unlikely to be admitted in first place), Lewis & Clark, Univ. of Oregon, and Oregon State Univ. They all supposed to have good biochemistry program, but I haven't decided where to go since I still haven't heard anything from Cornell or UO"s Honors College.</p>
<p>How about you?</p>
