Get into a lab doing primary research as soon as possible. Full stop. It can be a college/university lab, government, foundation, anything. In my opinion, information medicines is the fantastic convergence of bio and tech, so I would look for biochemistry labs that focus on DNA and RNA. Once you have a list of local research institutes, I can help you pick a lab to focus on. Then you just hammer them constantly by email and in person asking questions about the work until they hire you to wash the dishes :)
