I would like to decide my major soon. I am in community college but will likely be accepted as a transfer student to UNC. I want a career in researching medicine. More specifically, I want to specialize in fungus and mold research. I am very interested in the kingdom of fungus/mold and would love a career that allows me to search out fungus and mold in the wild and analyze and research it. My hope is to help develop new medicines from fungus and or mold. Is this whole business a long shot? What can I hope for realistically and is this the right career path if I would dearly like to spend time searching out molds/ fungus in the wild?
unc offers these course studies in the way of biochemical research.
