I'd echo sister posts re: how to get involved. My wife is currently in biotech doing mixed research/slightly CS-ey work and it constantly boggles my mind how antique many of their methods are, but they barely have money to keep running let alone pay for the expertise and/or infrastructure to leverage modern computing. Companies that have more freedom tend to be more restrictive I've found, and without a PHD it can be hard to get a foot in the door. Been doing data engineer/distributed systems/full stack engineer for almost a decade now and the recurring feeling of "I should be doing more to contribute to humanity" is often followed by contemplation of pursuing bio, but frankly I've been in such a different part of industry I don't even know where to start without heavily hamstringing my current career (e.g. going back for a PHD, potentially in another field)
