Perhaps the list works for technomancer (I just got the books so I don't know)

To be honest, I did create Fleshworker (I couldn't think of a better name, by the way) with polymaths and certain aliens (Mi-Go, Inyx, etc) in mind. I concede that the following Talent is more suitable for realism, such that congratulations are in order. :)

On a personal note, I am very much pro-biotech, so there's no need to feel threatened.

After looking at the second paragraph of the Research skill (4e p.247), I would surmise that the aforementioned skill is redundant; but not inappropriate. Furthermore, Biochemistry is subsumed into Biology. Everything else looks fine to me.
