10 Top Careers in Biomedical Science

Industry Advice Pharmaceutical Science Science & Mathematics

From unprecedented situations like the COVID-19 pandemic to the continued aging of the worldwide population, there are many pressing medical needs today that require the expertise of biomedical science professionals.

This increased demand has led to myriad exciting opportunities for those with the specific knowledge and skill sets required to contribute to the ongoing evolution of the practice. 

Read on to learn more about exactly what the practice of biomedical science entails, the variety of job opportunities available to those with master’s- and PhD-level training, and how you can kick-start your career in biomedical science.

What is biomedical science?

Biomedical science combines the study of human physiology, human pathology, and pharmacology to draw conclusions and make necessary advances toward solving significant health problems facing society.  

“It’s really an all-encompassing term,” says David Janero , director of the pharmaceutical sciences graduate programs at Northeastern University. “It goes from wet-lab research to address problems associated with therapeutics, disease mechanisms, and other related areas, [and] invokes disciplines such as pharmacology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, molecular medicine, medicinal chemistry, and so on.”

The many facets of this work allow aspiring biomedical scientists the opportunity to tailor their careers to fit their unique interests—a benefit of this particular field that has led to increased interest among those with a passion for science and medicine.

Pursuing a career in biomedical science

Despite the many scientific applications of biomedical science, Janero explains that the jobs available within this industry today are not limited to those based in a lab. The field has expanded to include many business and clinical roles, as well as those rooted in research and science. “I think the general perception is that biomedical science is mainly a wet-lab discipline,” he says. “But there really is a diversity of opportunities in this field.”

Did you know: A “ wet lab ” is a laboratory in which scientists handle chemicals or other “wet” materials to conduct experiments. A “dry lab,” on the other hand, is a location where scientists draw conclusions about realities that occur naturally in the world by replicating them using computers or mathematics.

A biomedical device must go through a series of phases—ranging from development and testing to sales and marketing—before it can be implemented as a medical solution. For that reason, “it’s not uncommon to have a project team … [made up of] laboratory technicians, salespeople, marketing people, legal people, as well as scientists of various disciplines,” Janero says.

Explore the Program

Biomedical science professionals also have the unique opportunity to work in the private or public sector, allowing them to further tailor their career opportunities to fit their particular interests.

Yet no matter which applications of biomedical science one is looking to pursue, professionals must start by obtaining an advanced degree in the field. As Janero explains, “solid training in the biomedical sciences at the PhD or master’s level provides a kind of necessary flexibility, because it calls upon the student to develop a number of skills not limited to those required at the bench.” 

This includes the honing of critical soft skills, including:

• Communication
• Critical thinking
• Collaboration

The combination of these skills with practical hands-on abilities is vital for success in all of today’s biomedical science roles. 

Below, we explore the top career options available to biomedical scientists with either a master’s or a PhD in the field.

Top biomedical science careers for master’s degree holders

Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program Receives Approval for New PhD Program in Computational Biology

July 11, 2024 by [email protected]   |   Leave a Comment

Computational biology is an interdisciplinary field that centers on the development and application of computational methods to analyze large collections of biological data, such as genetic sequences, cell populations or protein samples, to make new predictions or discover new biology. The computational approaches used include analytical methods, mathematical modeling and simulation. The shift toward more quantitative approaches to biological research and experimentation is driving demand for expert computational biologists who can manage, analyze and interpret large sets of biological data. Our new degree program will address this need by training computational biologists who are prepared to develop and apply sophisticated computational approaches to key biological and biomedical questions in academia and industry. The proposed PhD program will equip students with the knowledge and skills to conduct advanced analysis of large data sets. Students will also gain an in-depth understanding of the biology behind the data they are analyzing and will learn to apply computational approaches such as algorithms and statistical models that are commonly used across biological fields. Importantly, the students will learn and apply the principles of open science – transparency, scientific reproducibility, data sharing and collaborative research. Graduates will be able to identify areas for future research and contribute to research teams to drive discovery and innovation in the biological sciences in both the public and private sector.

Now that the official SCHEV approval letter is safely in hand, Dr. Sheffield is preparing to assume his role as the inaugural Director of Graduate Studies for the UVA SOM Computational Biology PhD program. He will work with many others who will be involved in the work of bringing the program to life. This will require continuing to build new coursework, recruiting faculty mentors for trainees and, of course, marketing the opportunity to the next generation of students seeking a PhD in Computational Biology!

Many thanks go to all of the individuals who helped with this effort at any point throughout the very long process of shepherding this proposal through the approval process – it took a village!

How Daniel's research will improve the performance of elite rowers for the 2028 Olympics

A PhD  in Sport and Exercise Science  at UWA will help you unlock your power to enhance the success and performance of elite athletes and sporting teams.   And with UWA’s vast industry connections, you’ll have the opportunity to undertake your PhD at organisations such as the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) .  

We interviewed Daniel Astridge, a third-year PhD student at WAIS, about his research and how it impacts the performance of elite athletes.  

Moving from Aberdeen, Scotland to Perth to study his PhD was an easy decision for Daniel, mainly due to UWA’s “longstanding and strong relationship with WAIS and its High-Performance Sport Research Centre”.  

The research centre offered a scholarship for joint work and research with the WAIS Rowing program with the aim of optimising athlete performance. The opportunity to study at a university as historic and prestigious as UWA, while conducting research and working with a group of elite level athletes, was too great of an opportunity to turn down.”   Daniel Astridge, UWA PhD Candidate  

Studying at UWA has not only allowed Daniel to create a strong network of professional connections, but also a lot of friends by playing for the UWA-Nedlands Football Club . Daniel’s favourite memory of studying at UWA so far was being the captain for his team in the UniSport Nationals Week .  

What has your experience at WAIS been like so far? 

What are you researching , why have you focused your research on this area , how will your research impact athletes .

“The ideal goal is to be at the 2028 Olympics as a member of staff with a national rowing program. I have loved my time in Australia working with Oz athletes, so I think it would be special if I was able to be part of the Australian Olympic team in LA.” 

Hear more about what our PhD students at WAIS have to say about their experiences so far
