I have great respect for bio-chemists.

I'm getting my bachelors in biochem next year. Then I'm off to grad school. Currently working in a biotech lab fucking with proteins.

Welcome to the club.  Proteins are great fun to play with.  Frustrating to refold. 

Can you elaborate a bit on what you do or what you're most interested in?

I make ELISA and activity kits for testing protein levels and activity in humans, rats, and mice. I'm honestly more interested in tissue engineering and that is what I plan to do in grad school.

I have always preferred the "whole animal" approach because I'm much more interested in the final outcome.

I've never used ELISA but I know about it.  Tissue engineering is pretty cool.  There was a guy on the forums years ago, went by the nick "Catalyst" (I think) who was into tissue engineering (I think).  His research had to do with using muscle-adhesive protein (MAP) to produce surfaces which wouldn't support bacterial growth or biofilms for use in surgical instruments and implants.  MAP binds really well to certain surfaces (I think they were testing titanium dioxide) and then on the outside of MAP was a polyethylene glycol (I think) or derivative thereof which would act as an abiotic surface.

There's really too many projects to get interested in.  I've always found that my initial response to something new in science (eg. an assignment when I was an undergrad or new background knowledge or a new project) always seems really dull at first.  Then once I start to read about it, I have this feeling like I could work on it for the rest of my life and be fascinated.  I remember tissue engineering being cool, but I took it as part of a materials chemistry class and the other half of the class was on semi-conductors, superconductors, etc.  so we couldn't cover tissue engineering comprehensively.

Any particular area of tissue engineering you're interested in?

I wanna work with lung tissue. Try to grow a blood circulatory platform which will connect the Type I and II pneumocytes (which also have to be grown).  But I honestly no idea how to do that... yet.
