So I got admitted into Dartmouth's Computer Science program and am anticipating getting into UCONN Health's Biomedical Science program. I'd be doing computational biology research in both. My goal in life is to do awesome research in anti-aging or chronic diseases, hopefully as a lead that sets the project, and to stay as far away as possible from undergrad students. And for various reasons I'd like my work to be done ideally 100% through computers, not wet bench tasks. I'd like to skip the postdoc step as well.
Would getting a CS PhD hurt in this goal? Are the courses I take and program type listed on my degree worth more than the type of research I do? Any other thoughts or advice on the different opportunities each program will give me?
Thanks!
