Any biotech folks here?

Medical devices, diagnostics, medical health platforms. Looking to catch up on and discuss the industry, upcoming trends, maybe partnerships. Apple vs Masimo is pretty interesting. Would love to know your thoughts on it. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/explained-apple-vs-masimo-what-is-the-blood-oxygen-feud-that-led-to-temporary-halt-of-apple-watch-models/articleshow/106148069.cms

Hi folks! Am new to the city, working for an MNC and recently got the role of Project coordinator (but similar to PM) but along with this, I want start exploring the startup ecosystem here in Bengaluru. Am still figuring out my niche. Could you guys please suggest what kind of events I should attend to meet people, what are some of the X (Twitter), Reddit, Instagram or any other such SM pages to follow so that I am relevant with the things happening here? I am up for part time jobs and apprenticeships if available to start immediately or after skilling up myself with the requirements. PS. As I am still finding my niche, any sector is good enough to begin with, but since I am a Biomedical Engineering Graduate, I would prefer something in the Medtech arena.

Sorry for the long post! Hi, I'm in India. I completed my bachelors in biotechnology and am in the first month of masters in genetic engineering. Initially I had no plan to join masters in India, instead I thought of pursuing MS abroad. As I could only apply for programs for September 2024, I thought a gap year would decrease my chances of getting into any program and would not look nice on my resume. As time went by, I panicked and got into genetic engineering masters. This is where I came to know it is a research-oriented program unlike biotechnology and must do a PhD afterwards. I don't even know what the career scope for genetic engineering might be. Now, I'm in a dilemma that I should continue my masters for two years and do a PhD abroad or do any internship for a year and get into masters in biotechnology abroad (specifically US) for September 2024 and directly go for an industry?! Any suggestions are welcome!

So I just completed my bsc biotechnology and having gone through it, I don't think I can see myself working in a lab for my future. I do know i can do my msc in biotechnology management but I just wanna know if its worth it ? Career prospects and salary wise. I want to work abroad but I just want to know if its a good lifestyle or i could struggle and stick it out with bioinformatics or biostatistics or something. But If anyone has anything that could help, please lmk

Which companies are coming for campus recruitment for biotechnology, biochemistry? Recently read the following post.

Hello everyone, I hope this post finds you all well. I am a clinical microbiologist with a strong interest in technology and its potential to transform healthcare. While I do not have a background in programming, I have a basic understanding of coding and have dabbled in HTML as a teenager (it's a markup language, I know 😄) and Python in the past. After spending many years in medicine, I am looking to explore if I can create any value in the tech industry, specifically in the field of health tech. I am reaching out to this community for any help or guidance that you can provide me with like who to connect with or what jobs would be a good fit. I am particularly interested in connecting with individuals who have successfully made the transition from medicine to technology or who are working in health tech roles. Any advice or insights you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing from you.
