I tried emailing several biomed professors in my university about getting a research position in my first semester of college, but none of them emailed back. (It had nothing to do with the email content, as I'm confident that I was respectful and expressed authentic interest in the field of research).
This second semester, I was talking to my chemistry professor and when I expressed an interest in researching, he offered me a position. The problem is that his research has to do with carbon nanotube composites and polymer derived ceramics - this is all industrial and has little relation to medicine.
Will being involved in this lab be as effective as working in a more medically relevant field of research for getting me into medical school? Should I take this position, or continue emailing professors whose research's focus is more biological than physical?
