I want to become an entrepreneur in the biotech industry in 5-10 from
now. I would like to create a company that creates customizable cure
solution and treatment cheaply and for everyone. I believe that
Genomics/Proteomics/Informatic... will help us achieve that goal.

Now, I'm just a twentysomething guy who has a bachelor degree in
Economics and I work a very big internet company. I do love internet
and computer high-tech products, but I can't see myself doing this
forever.

I understand that I will probably have to start undergraduate program
again. That's my question:

Which are the best biology/biotech undergraduate program in Canada, US
and Europe?
Once I have my undergraduate degree, what should I do next ? PhD?
Master? MBA?
Also, do you know any scholarship that can help me in this dream? Do
you have any other suggestion of how I can achieve this?

There are several programs in Canada and USA, but you should look for
the things that interest you, try to read as much as you can on the
reasearch being done. The best way to know such stuffs is to go to
different universities website and see the undergrad program and see
the faculties and their research work. So you can select the school as
well also do correspondance with the prof. and you get a through idea
and will also help to gain admission.
