Do you get a degree in medicine in order to do medical, genetic, and biotech research?

Or do you major in something else?

Do you get a degree in medicine in order to do medical, genetic, and biotech research?
M.D., Ph.D., and PharmD. are all the prefered degrees for doing different types of medical related research.





The Ph.D. would be in an area that is related to what you want to do: Biomedical sciences, genetics, cell biology, etc.
Reply:Not necessarily. I have a family member who does genetic/biotech research, and his degree is a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, not medicine.





If you're looking for an undergrad major, I think his bachelor's degree was Cell Biology, but that level wouldn't have been enough for the job without the Ph.D.
Reply:No You can have a degree in Engineering, Physics Applied Science. etc.


Nanoscience is a research discipline where chemistry, physics, biology, biomedical engineering, and other disciplines come together to discover new phenomena at the nanometer and molecular scale.
