AI Thread Summary
The responsibility for developing vaccines, antibiotics, and antiviral drugs primarily lies with pharmaceutical companies, which play a crucial role in bringing these products from the lab to market. To pursue a career in drug development, a degree in biomedical science, pharmacology, molecular medicine, or biochemistry is recommended. Within pharmaceutical companies, organic chemists are typically responsible for the actual creation of drugs, while professionals trained in biomedical sciences focus on testing the efficacy and safety of these drugs. Universities also contribute significantly to preliminary research in drug development through their biomedical departments.

Pharmaceutical companies generally.

Something like biomedical science would be the sort of subject to start with.
 


If you want to develop drugs (i.e. see them go from the lab all the way to market) a pharmaceutical company is your best. If you want to research potential drugs then most universities biomedical departments conduct the preliminary work.

Either way a degree in pharmacology, molecular medicine or biochemistry would be a good bet
 


The people in pharmaceutical companies responsible for actually making the drugs are generally chemists (organic chemists to be specific). People with training in the biomedical sciences would be the ones testing the various drugs the chemists create.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
