I had really wanted to get a PhD in Bioinformatics Engineering. I find it absolutely fascinating because it's a combination of everything I love - math, biology, and programming. The only thing I'm concerned about is the pay.
At first, I had been told it pays great money - high salary, a field that keeps expanding and rising in value. As I do more research, I'm getting mixed answers. Some say it's excellent, others say the pay doesn't even come close to being worth all the hard work that goes into it. I really want to be in a high paying field. Are there any jobs similar with a higher average salary?
P/S: I had wanted to go into medical bioinformatics engineering, but wasn't limiting my options to it.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
