Hiya 👋 if you're interested in all things computational biology then listen up! This channel is all about sharing ,in a relaxed, fun and informal way the inside knowledge of getting into this field.
🧬 I share videos about how to transition from the wet lab to the dry lab, applying for internships and jobs, learning to code, and working in bioinformatics.
🧬 My name's Georgia and I work in Bioinformatics (currently in academia). 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.

Thank you for sharing such invaluable insights ✨👌
I have a chemistry degree, do you think i could take bioinformatics for master?, i heard we need to start using ai etc, i feel like bioinformatics is really good
Hey! I am currently pursuing UG in AI/DSc & I am interested in Genomics DSc. Please tell me what resources I should Learn Genetics & Genomics from. I know High School Genetics and Biology.
Since pay is more in the tech industry, is it easy to get into tech as a bioinformatian or not? And can I pursue masters in data science after a bachelors in bioinformatics? Would appreciate your answer.
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!
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 ?
Don't you forget that there's people from Computer Science or even other majors that may want bioinformatics, so no, I don't know the biology😅
So true!! A lot of my new colleagues come from physics/maths background
I am going into my second year of applied computing (focus bioinformatics) and this was super helpful ! thank you so much :)
Great stuff i am glad!🫶
How is the ireland for bioinformatics? Im thinking of opting masters from UCC!
Georgia, what does a bioinformatics portfolio look like on github?
I need to make a specific video on this, bear with me!
could u pls make a video of some good bioinformatics projects as beginners?
I’m going to enter in this field any suggestions for me !
Here with you. Thanks for the inspirations.
Any time!
Hi georgia! Nice video. Do you know if there are companies that hire bioinformatician from others countries to work remotely? Or it's something more hardish to find?
Harder to find… because you’re closer to the biology people prefer you to be closer to the science. Software engineering roles will be more suited to what you’re looking for
Definitely the same. I couldn’t stop playing nor working. It really need the self control, which mine is not enough.
It was exhausting right!
I have my first degree in Computer Science, with internship in Data Science. I am planning to start my second degree in Bioinformatics
Exciting!!!
You are very natural and inspiring. Greetings from Paraguay!
Hi Georgia! Nice video. I have a question; is it viable to find remote jobs as a bioinformatician? I'm from Paraguay and my country is not developed in the field, but I'm not sure living abroad. I guess is kind of difficult because in industry the company wants to know you since they are going to work with you and of course paid you. So I guess it may be difficult. However I wanted to ask you since you know better. Thanks!
You hit the nail on the head with the things you mentioned Academia should ONLY be pursued if you TRULY have a burning passion for it because you will be solving humanity’s problems for a very severely poor wage. Egos DO run high in the “rat race” to prove your intellectual prowess. I recommend just sticking to biostatistics because bioinformatics is still at a relatively new and is mostly tailored for academia.
Greetings, Georgia. This is really inspiring. I intend to pursue a Ph.D in Bioinformatics. I need your counsel. I have a good background in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Programming. I am a new subscriber already.
In the US, Ph.D programs pay a stipend of about $30,000 a year, not enough to get rich, but you won’t starve. I was working as a staff in a core lab, when our director left, I stepped in as the new director because I have a Ph.D.
I am a bsc student of biomedical science and looking forward to do my masters in bioinformatics in university of Leicester in uk. Ma'am do you think the university that I have chosen is worth for that subject and also I like to know will the AI will replace bioinformatics roles in the future
Hello mam I am from India and need your guidance to make pursue my carrier in bioinformatics.
This was very insightful, tysm
You’re welcome! It’s not alllll negative but just making sure I highlight some of the cons :)
4:05 Hey Georgia, I don't know if you mentioned the potential health risks of working as a wet lab-biologist (for example, dangerous chemicals, sharp objects, infections from samples etc.) in your previous videos. From this point of view, doing bioinfo is much more healthier than working in a lab, right?
Hey! Yeah excellent point. I would add though that the wet lab have many protocols, people, and departments in place to mitigate the risks in the wet lab. There’s not many people in bioinformatics forcing us to stand up every hour or to take walks at lunch 😂 I think the health risks of bioinfo are more long term when you’re older with years of built up bad posture 😂
@@genomicswithgeorgia That would be a great slogan for bioinfo MSc: Backpain for everyone!
@@nandorliptak575a lot of wet labs use carcinogenic chemicals like ethidium bromide for DNA electrophoresis …. Or creating buffers with very concentrated acids like Hydrochloric acid. This is why I quit the wet lab….besides being poorly paid, I wanted to take care of my health . My health is more important than solving humanity’s problems for poor wage
Most wet labs work with carcinogenic chemicals like ethidium bromide for DNA work and working with very dangerous acids to make buffers. Is solving humanity’s problems at the cost of your health worth it for low pay ?
basically not going for academia eliminates like half* of the cons of being a bioinformatician tbh 🤣 edit: more like 75 to 80%
So should i still pursue it if I don't want to pursue academia? If I want a job in tech world and industry
you need a HPC or a laptop with a lot of ... RAM and storage
You definitely do to deal with large data sets! You can definitely train and practise on dummy data sets on a standard computer :)
Great advice ❤
Great insights 😃 I've question...How Ai can impact bioinformatics job market ? I'm non-technical background graduate ( botany) , I'm thanking of joining Masters in bioinformatics is it a good idea in 2024 ?
Can you make a video talking about internships for bioinformatics and the requirements etc x
I love your channel it’s so helpful 😊
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 😊
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?
Hi Georgia im currently in 6th form im going to apply for neuro at uni and your videos are really helpful, they give me insight into the possible career options. KEEP IT UP
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.
I am a master's student specializing in virology, aiming to delve into bioinformatics, particularly biological systems. I have experience working with Python and R, albeit not in a biological context. I am seeking guidance on how to proceed further in integrating bioinformatics into my virology studies. Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Best regards
Virology and bioinformatics go hand in hand, look at how we used bioinformatic analysis of variants during the covid pandemic! It doesn’t matter if your python and R were in non-biological contexts, having that experience and your masters choice puts you in the perfect position. I would try to make your masters project computational and using bioinformatics , and always code your analysis in python or R (not excel). Try and seek out virology lecturerers/professors at your institute and ask if they know any opportunities where you could contribute to bioinfo in virology/just ask them general advice. It’s an Exciting path you’re on 💪
you are gorgeous!🤩
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
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 ✨
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!
thanks for this video!!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
Thanks for the amazing video its very helpful. I'll try to curate my study plans around it.
You’re welcome 🧬
Hello I'm very scared to do the project. So can you suggest me some ideas for bioinformatics project for undergrad student. Please let me know as it would be great help. Thank you
Take a look at the Rosalind problems for somewhere to start: rosalind.info/problems/list-view/
tell me about genetics
This is exactly the kind of mood booster video I needed so thank you <3 I'm enrolled in a Master program and it's very fast paced for someone like me with no computing degree. I feel like I'm never going to be ready to take on an internship at this rate. Really overwhelmed since everyone's telling me to learn a 100 different things. But you're right I should streamline my interests to the companies I'm inspired by and take it step by step from there. Also side note - I was wondering if you could do a video on common bioinformatics tools you use and their applications in your industry?
Best of luck with your masters program! It’s hard to not feel overwhelmed but the field is so big and nobody can learn everything! I’ll add that topic to my to do list, thanks 💖
@@genomicswithgeorgiatyyy ❤❤❤
amazing to know you genomics
Hi Goergia, this is inspiring!!! I am a biologist, geneticist focusing wet lab, but I have strong interest in Bioinformatics to analyze Genomics data. I am inspired by your video. I appreciate it very much!!!
Thank you 🎉 !! Excellent information !!
Great stuff!
good afternoon georgia. My name is Amune victor efi a final year biomedical engineering student who wants to go into bioinformatics as a career path. Is it possible to get internships with companies outside nigeria. I would really appreciate if I could get one. I am currently in my final year and my expected month foe graduation is July 2024
Right, so I have a bachelors in Physics and I'm currently planning to get my masters in Data Science. I wanna write my masters thesis in something to do with bioinformatics but the thing is, I don't have a biology background. This seems like a rhetorical question but do I really need a biology background to get into this field?
