Land a Bioinformatics job in 2024 with these TOP TIPS (inc. AI, ChatGPT, etc.)

[@josecantu8195]

As someone with just a bachelor's who's learning on the job in my lab this is immense help whenever I do decide it's time to prepare and look for another job next year that is fully computational. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic!! 🩷

[@Tumbling_Bear]

currently halfway through my genomic medicine masters, i really want to get into bioinformatics. learning python (cos im a bio student) thank you for all the advice you give.

[@genomicswithgeorgia]

Genomic medicine is such an exciting masters choice! You will have great clinical genomic knowledge to make you a great bioinformatician . Best of luck! 💖

[@ivanprivi9996]

As always, is great to watch you! so clear comments, so motivated, it makes me be fine sure that I want to work in Bioinformtics when a finish my PhD in Biology as I told you before, and this year starting my Bioinformatics specialization surely will be a woohoo year hahaha. Thank you so much! Greetings from Argentina

[@genomicswithgeorgia]

Hello from rainy UK! Thanks for your lovely feedback it really does help motivate me to find time to make more videos 😊 oh that’s fantastic, great times ahead this year for you. I hope the specialisation goes really well ✨

Thanks Georgia! This was a helpful video. I have a background just working in music tech, and basically taught myself enough biology to land a government training position. I taught myself linux, some python, (currently learning R) and I am working on metagenomics projects analyzing DNA, basically just comparing species to blast databases. I am looking into some courses that would build my skill set for both bioinformatics and potentially other career options. Wondering if you have any recommendations for just some additional skills that would come in handy, I am def considering looking into more AI application as you recommended in your video. Thanks!

i'm a biotechnology student 2nd year currently and want to do bioinformatics in future like in masters it would be great if you talk more and more about this career and colleges i can apply for masters course your really helping a lot thanks!

Im about to enroll in bioinformatics MSc. Is it too important to get Immunology, Infectious Diseases for somebody that wants to not get into Academia? and in general in Bioinformatics? Im more interested in computing and learning to code , how important is it to know perfectly the contect of these courses ? Plus, what is the difference between Single-cell bioinformatician and a genome bioinformatician, are they that much divided in the industry? Could you give an example of each ?

[@genomicswithgeorgia]

Exciting! The biology domain knowledge you need really depends on the job, and in most cases you will learn the biology on the job (hence how purely comp people get into the field). You need to understand the biology enough to understand the data but you don’t need to be an expert in immunology or whatever the topic is. Single Cell bioinformaticians know how to process single cell data (might be from DNA, RNA, or Proteomics). Genome bioinformaticians are pros at analysing mainly DNA data, be it whole genome, exome, or panel Basically, a bioinformatician can be a keen coder and computing whizz then depending on which analysis you do and which data you use, you can wear whatever hat fits best; genomic, or single cell, or any other type!

Hi! I’m currently doing my bachelor’s in Biotechnology and planning to take up Bioinformatics. However, I don’t have any programming knowledge, and it really scares me. I’m worried that I might find it too difficult. Could you suggest where I can start learning or which areas I should focus on to make it easier for me?

[@shinn1231]

hi, I'm from India can you tell me that I'm doing a job in being. sector because I did an AI ML course with 2 research papers and also im doing PhD in bioinformatics but I want job abroad how can I apply

[@drunken_viper]

Thanks for the amazing video its very helpful. I'll try to curate my study plans around it.

[@genomicswithgeorgia]

You’re welcome 🧬

[@PriyanshuLawaniyaHr36]

I wanna do a startup in the field of bioinformatics & medicine plzz give some tips….

[@genomicswithgeorgia]

Wow that’s ambitious but exciting! Startups aren’t my area of expertise but best of luck!!

[@cristianfalco3792]

thanks for this video!!

[@genomicswithgeorgia]

Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@zonaimran5390]

Can you please guide me, if pursuing a Masters in Bioinformatics would be a wise decision in 2024, considering there's a lot of courses and learning content available online, that can help a student become a Bioinformatician? Does that affect whether or not we would land a job in this field, etc?

[@genomicswithgeorgia]

Hey! Doing a masters in bioinformatics is one (and usually the most common?) way to learn the basic skills to be a bioinformatician. Taught masters aren’t often accessible to everyone financially so I try to share the other ways in which you can go and find these skills. If you have the resources to do a bioinformatics masters this is a great step to becoming a bioinformatician and can get your CV past the first review for jobs but you might need to consider additional projects or courses you can do also to boost your chances (because there will be lots of bioinfo masters graduates applying for the same roles) :)

[@zonaimran5390]

@@genomicswithgeorgia thanks a lot for responding. So basically self-learning wouldn't suffice, using Coursera and all the resources on the internet, and building a portfolio in Bioinformatics that way? Basically I'm confused about whether I should stick to self-learning and build a career that way, OR invest time, money, and energy in a Masters instead. My Bachelors is in Biotechnology.

you are gorgeous!🤩

You seriously got upset because chatgpt was sexist? dude….people get so woke about anything Sheeesh ….sad your kind of people are becoming more common in my field and I have to deal with Glad you read my comment before you delete it 😊
