Awww celeritas is a nice person, just a bit chemistry obsessed, like we are with biology lol :p:

Ermm, it depends what area of medical research you wanted to go into. Biomedical science looks more at human disease and studies that, whereas biotechnology tends to look at agriculture and food science. it does involve some research into medicine, but not like biomedical science. Biotechnology is more a engineering science, rather than a pure life science, like biomedical science. Like i said, it depends on your individual interests into what area of medical research you want to do.
