Genomics With Georgia
Добавлен 14 янв 2021
Hiya 👋 if you're interested in all things computational biology then listen up! This channel is all is your go to entry point for an overview of everything you need to know to get into bioinformatics.
🧬 My name's Georgia and I work as a Bioinformatician at a Research Institute in London! I graduated in 2020 with a BSc in Genetics and Molecular Biology from UEA in Norwich, England. I started teaching myself to code in 2019 and ever since I've been passionate about sharing the importance of learning this skill for biologists and how it can change your options. I worked at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge UK until 2023 as a Genomic Data Scientist where I trained on the job. I now work at research institute in London, UK as a Bioinformatician. I'm passionate about sharing my career journey and helping break down barriers of entry.
💗 welcome 💗
