What field of biology do I do research in to make the world a better place?
I'd like to work on extending human life, is the MD/PhD the route to go?
What are some oncoming advances in the field of biology?
I know a lot of people (especially here) claim biology is dumb and such but I do think that this is one of the fields that"s beginning to shape our future.

Pharmacology, develop drugs that help extend the functionality and stability of cells.

Any. Pick the one you like best. They all overlap to some degree so anything you contribute in one area can still be used in others to some degree.
None of them. Big pharma and improper education killed medicine.

I think the world already has this one pretty well figured out. Just go to most of the middle east and northern Africa, they can provide centuries of hard research.

Or maybe he can work to eliminate genital cutting of either sex in the west, then lead a ruthless and bloody campaign to eradicate in the world as a whole. The body count being a small sacrifice to afford a small sliver of meaningful human change.
genetics is the hot field in bio right now

Anyone not on the correct page should be executed, sterilized, or put in a re-education system using LSD and ECT with non-square waves.

No, I happened to dodge that particular bullet.
Life will always deal subpar hands occasionally, but these are some that we as a species should disallow from ever being received. Childhood obesity is another such example.
