I am an undergrad in Materials Science and have recently started to develop interest in the biological side of things but I would like to pursue a career in either dry lab or a mixture of wet and dry lab (predominantly dry) and would want to avoid wet lab (I guess?)
I am beginning to feel interested in Healthcare AI (I'm working on a project on the prognosis and prediction of re occurance in a cancer type) and i would like to pursue it. But I'm wondering if it is foolish? Currently I can pivot into biotech type (wet lab and dry lab) which is why I want to get an idea of my prospects with respect to the future? I'd prefer pure data science but i am unaware of the implications of AI in this field? Will the value of wet lab scientists increase with time as dry lab has a less steeper learning curve and wet kab requires an expertise that is typically harder for someone to get unless they properly dip their toes into this field?
Which is why I wish to know which would be the better option of the two.
Any help will be appreciated, have a happy day ahead
