Scope of biotechnology jobs in Houston?

Question:I have a friend doing her Bachelors in Radiology. She's thinking about changing her field to Biotechnology. Any idea as to what's the job scope or what's the industry like for that sector in Houston. Do not confuse it with general health care.

Please let me know if there is a sub-field of BT, getting into which results in really good prospects.

Thanks!
