I am in the navy and am looking at going to college for Bioengeneering when i get out. My goal is to find a cure for cancer through Bioengeneering and genetics. I am looking for some guidance a direction if you will, on where to go. I have been reading and researching what people have done and what I would like to do. I have read in one book that there is a group in Whales
Do you mean the marine animals or the geographical location Wales?
that has actually come up with a drug free "cure" by way of the body, using proteins to signal "suicide" in the cancer cells. After reading this I started to realize that finding a "cure" isn't the actual problem that I would be facing. The true problem would be keeping the cure out of big blockbuster cooperation's hands while making it cheap and accessible to the general public at as little cost as possible. To do something like that a person would have to perfect the process of multiplying the results with as little effort as possible. I don't know where to begin...any ideas?
there are lot's of ideas for curing cancer. You've basically just gotta start reading, in a year or two of basic chem and molecular bio, you should expect to have a basic schematic of how cells work (from a very broad perspective, that is of course ever changing and growing and refining itself). I then recommend spending another year learning about instrumentation and basic electronics, and another year of intensive biotech and chem lab courses. If you want to do this at a University, on a normal schedule you'd probably spend 4.5 to 5 years.
I went to RIT for their Biotech program, it was pretty good, but it's not MIT, Harvard, UC Berkeley or Cornell. Those places have good cash flow, they all each have their own 'genomics core'. If you can get into a school like that and succeed with the structure, aim as high as you can.
