I added a link to a FREE short version of the r book I used :) and datacamp and the bioinf website too 🤌🏻✨
For those in the UK the NHS also employs Clinical Bioinformaticians - there's a great 3 year training programme (NHS Scientist Training Programme - Bioinformatics) that involves on the job training and a part time funded masters degree
You must be wokring for the NHS to apply.
@@IykeDx No, there are 'in-service' places where you need to already work for the NHS, but the majority of places are 'direct' and you don't need to be ☺️
So happy to see you're advertising the bioinformatics field. I had pretty close experience with bioinformatics as you did, I was also terrified in the beginning and not interested in coding as well, but once I started it turned into my passion and not just a job but also a hobby.
Also, I think for those who have biological knowledge and want to get a bit of an idea about bioinformatics, Galaxy is a really nice platform where you can run so many different tools depending on the goal of your analysis. The best part is it does not require any programming skills and it is really user-friendly.
Thanks for this super interesting video! I didnt know much about this field until watching your videos! Definitely a field i am considering now as i have biomedical background and currently doing an MSc in Data Science
I would absolutely LOVE it if you released a bioinformatics course!! I love your material so much and am currently trying *and struggling* to transition from a comp sci career into a bioinformatics career! I’m hoping to work in industry but your work is very inspiring and I know I’d learn a lot from any course you teach. Thank you so much for this video!
i've been following you for quite a while now and it's thanks to you that i even found out that bioinformatics even existed! i also started off aspiring to be a physician assistant/associate, but ive always had a passion for the software/computer science field. it inspires me so much more knowing you started off from a similar point as i am currently at :)
I have been waiting for this!!!! THANK YOU!!!
I kept you waiting so long 😭😭 hopefully it’s worth the wait!
@@agenomicsphd yes!!!
Oooo, I was always so curious! Thank you, because this is so fun to learn about.
I hope it can help!✨
Most informative video i have ever seen about bioinformatics
Thank u 💟
Sister I am so so so glad to see you back again and I was eagerly waiting for this vlog you are my inspiration and I wish you have a amazing week ahead✨🩷🩷
Omg you are so encouraging! As a student also change my major from biology to bioinformatics, I always feel like that I cannot beat/ equal to the computational students.
It is so amazing that you are bringing women into this field by the exposure and role modeling!!! This is a real world way to change things for the better. You rock!
holy moly I'm early! Thanks for posting
Great video, it really helped give me a perspective from someone who has no coding background to getting a job in the field, plus until I saw one of your shorts I had never heard of bioinformatics before, so thank you for enlightening me. I have a degree in aerospace engineering and am a qualified electrician but worked more in IT based jobs and found the little coding aspects more interesting to me. So I have recently quit my job due to anxiety and stress issues, and been trying to study Python, to pursue a career in computer programming, the courses I have tried to do have been losing my interest as they tend to go off topic and waffle on a lot, so I will give datacamp a try and give the book a read
Wow, great information! I was thinking of doing Data Science in the biology field but didnt know it had a specific name. Thanks for explaining so thoroughly
I would definitely be interested in your bioinformatics insight! I’m a biology undergrad major and got accepted into a bioinformatics research program for this spring. Your video came at the perfect time. Thank you for posting those links as well. :)
Hi I have done my bachelor in bioinformatics and looking for some research projects and internships can you help me or guide me to get one
I love this video! Currently pursuing a major in biology with a concentration in biotechnology. I have one year left and decided to add Python, Data Analytics and later R. Your video confirmed my plan and your excitement is contagious! 💕💕💕
❤❤
Just a side note, but it sounds like you had a great journey to where you are now where you made great decisions and remained disciplined even when it was difficult, really inspiring and amazing to see, can’t wait to see where your career continues to take you tbh!
Programming at a FAANG company (Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, etc.) pays around 400,000+ a year. BUT you sign your life away. 70+ hour weeks is the norm.
how to get a job there??
This is amazing ❤ Thank you so much for this! I'm looking to do my MSc in Bionformatics, and this really helped clarify some questions I had ✨
I’m genuinely so glad! 🩷
Oh brilliant, good luck 😊 I did mine in Leicester and had such a good time. I ended up changing career paths though and am now doing my PhD in Informatics with some input from psychology/sociology :)
@elinor487 That's quite helpful! Thank you!
Finishing my masters in bioinformatics this year. So happy to have found this channel
Congrats! 🥰and yay! Thank you for being here!
Me too! Great find. Subscribed
Hey can I know at which uni you've pursued your masters?
@@amruthachenuthala8994 Birkbeck University of London
What did you study as your undergraduate course?
Everything was so beautifully said!! I'm shocked to hear that the salaries may be better here than the UK...that's wild. I actually want to steer away from academia, but it's not looking like I will anytime soon 😅 I've been very patiently waiting for this video lol thank you so much for posting this ❤
I wish I could steer into academia!
I'm going to finish high school this year and I'm going to choose computer science in college. 1 year ago, I found bioinformatics and started researching. I will most likely advance in the field of bioinformatics. Thank you very much for answering the questions I had in mind ❤❤
You’re so correct about the gap in the market regarding bioinformatics courses/information. I’m a microbiology undergraduate student interested in pursuing a career in bioinformatics & I’d love to see a course designed by you! Thanks for all the wonderful content.
im a microbe student too hi!
yes im interested in bioinfo course!🥺❤️
Hi! Thanks for your amazingly great video to help me understand more. Now, I am a student in Vietnam and at my university, it is really hard for me to find expert in bioinformatics so that I don't know how to start. In the video I heard that you're gonna open your class about bioinformatics, I am really excited about that and hope you will start that :3😘😘😘
I work as a Bioinformaticion in the US. The salary is higher but also the living cost. I work in the field of Epigenetics.
Hey I'd like to know more about your roadmap
i need to know about road map as i am doing undergrad in bioinformatics
thanks! tomorrow is my interview for a PhD in Bioinformatics
I didn't find many channels to follow that talks about bioinformatics, hope you really keep uploading videos for the field. I am major in Computer Science minor Bioinformatics and I really liked the video
I am a pharmacy undergrad student rn and I've been thinking about bioinformatics but couldn't really find enough information so this was really helpful
Great video! Lots of really useful info, thank you. I'd be very interested if you created a bioinformatics course. Please do it!💕
For anyone who did a maths or computer science undergrad, MSc bioinformatics courses welcome you with open arms. It was a really good experience for me as a maths undergraduate because i helped everyone on my course with the stats and algorithms modules and they in turn helped with proteins and genomics modules 😊
Also, if you have any advice to get through a PhD, that would be brilliant. I'm doing mine part time and have no idea what im doing most of the time 🙈
Yess! So true! That’s so awesome! One of my lab mates had a maths background and she is one of the best bioinformaticians I know🤯 and noted! I defo need to do a PhD video!! Congrats btw on being awesome 😍
A bioinformatics course would be super useful!
Yeah, we would be interested in a bioinformatics course
Being in such a feild makes me realise you would have such a beautiful brain! This field requires so much critical thinking and analytics.
Thank you for this, it was very informative and super interesting! One question: How good do you have to be in mathematics? I've always been interested in this field but (at least here in Finland) it seems that many universities have a lot of emphasis on mathematics in their bioinformatics studies. I have a UAS bachelor's degree in IT, but I really suck at maths 😅 Thanks again, love your videos! 💗
Truly loved your video. Just felt that you could dive deeper into the biology needed to get into bioinformatics.
Yay great! And oo I think It truly depends on the field of bioinf you want to work in! As like I said it can be any field in biology! I personally am in genomics and feel that my undergrad prepared me super well!
this is great video 👌👌💯💯
heyyyy that was a wonderful video i had a query as i am going for my masters in bioinformatics soon so which laptop should i go for ?
Great video! I´m finishing my master in bioinformatics and biostatistics. Also trying to move from a wet lab to a dry lab job as a bioinformatician.
¿Any recommend books to read in the field?
thank you so much for the video! I'm starting university soon and my school offers bioinformatics as a minor. will definitely try it out after finding out so much about it from your video!!! 🩷🩷
Very interested in this field.Can I get into it after graduation by self studying? Any resources you'd recommend for learning?!
Thank you so much for this video. This is what i exactly needed as i am pursuing masters in bioinformatics and also as a career option. I would love for you to create a bioinformatics course.
I have questions, though.
I'm in my final year majoring in zoology. I am also doing my internship in a wet lab, learning about extracting DNA and all. Does this count as having a background in biology?
Also...my gpa isn’t the best so i wonder if what you stated in the video can apply to my situation?
I’m a marine biologist. I have my BSC and MS in Marine Biology and a Grad Cert in Wildlife Forensics and Bioinformatics and I’m interested in doing this in marine biology. There just aren’t a lot of job offers. 😢
would it be a good idea to dual major in biology and cs?
I am gonna do my bachelors in bioinformatics i was confused was it worth it or not this video helped me alot
What do you need for a levels?
is BTech in Bioinformatics same as Bsc in terms of jobs?
I got my degree in biochemistry, and recently i've been interested in bioinformatics. I was wondering have you heard of people who self taught themselves coding and achieved a job this way? Thank you!
Do you need special device to do the exercises in class ? Because I am studying for a biology degree and honestly I really am struggling with diagrams and drawings on laptop but I am afraid a tablet is way too weak to actually be useful in a bioinformatic master.
Have I good reasons to worry or not ?
I truly appreciate your fully informative video, it made me feel at ease a bit because I tried once to apply for masters degree in bioinformatics in Netherlands but I got rejected. My background is bit different, I am a pharmacist. I m hoping to find a way I make it possible to pursue a career in the academic path of bioinformatics.
Nb : I m from Algeria so I don't know exactly from where to start. If anyone knows what may work I ll be deeply grateful ❤️
Please make course on it
Heyy I'm thinking of doing a masters in bioninformatics, but I also enjoy wet lab and I have a lot of experience in it. Do you think it's possible in a job to work in a wet lab and do bioinformatics at the same time?
How can you get from undergrad to phd without doing a master? 😅
18:39
You can study Bioinformatics at uni tho?
I am currently in Biochem but am thinking of switching to bioinf. only i'm not sure if i should finish my degree in biochem first or jump straight to the new one
Hi! I'm coursing a biomedical sciences degree. I wish to work on bioinformatics, genetic modifications on animals and plants and things like that. Do bioinformatics applies to genetic mod as well? I'm wondering molecular biology is preferred for doing that. I also am interested in medical genetics, like rare diseases. I'm at that part of the course where we doubt our decisions omg
can you help or offer books about learning basic genetics
I this is not related to this topic . But i hope my English teacher talks like you
how many hours u work
Hi! I'm about to finish my undergraduate degree in chemical engineering. I was wondering if there's anything similar to bioinformatics in my field - something that combines chemical engineering and informatics. Thank you!
I would say drug design
cheminformatics! Not sure if it’s an actual job title but I’ve seen listings for chemical informatics internships. You could also look into molecular modeling
@@endii5784 thank you!!
I would say if anyone is going to Bioinformatics I would suggest do a CS degree or CE/EE degree with a some electives in bioinformatics/ biology. You’ll come out your degree with the advance programming skills , embedded software, computer architecture, understanding web and app development, Deep of understanding of Linux, CLI, computer networking, mathematics/ probability stats than a biologist, which for the most part is the core for most jobs.
it also opens more doors to other fields such as aerospace/ semiconductors and big tech, fintech and career paths. biotech is very niche and have a high tendency of layoff .There are a lump sum of biotech companies. You do not want to get pigeon hole. It also hard to transition into other industries if have a background in biology.
If you are CS or CE/EE you can literally work everywhere since you have a good foundations. There are similar roles like bioinformatics like econometrics, which is essentially a bioinformátican , but it’s strictly for economic data but they tend to hire CS/Math/ / CE/EE/ economy.
I was once told by a director that its easier to teach biology and chemistry to an engineer or CS( EE/CE/ Chem e , CS ) than it is too teach programming / advance stats mathematics/ electronics/ controls to biologist. That’s because usually engineers and cs planning on going to bio tech have already a general knowledge of bio.
I love your RP accent ❤
omg Ive never been told I have an RP accent🤣🤣are you also British?😂
Oh no I’m not, but I love your accent so much, it’s so classy 🫶🥹. Seems like you’re from London
@@user-ys4ll3cc1u most British people tell me I have an essex accent which is almost the opposite of RP😅 but haha thank you soooo much, it’s a love or hate I think!😂🩷
Really good video...the best thing about this video was that you gave so much information and there was no unnecessary background music...thank you very much for that... please DO NOT include background music in videos where you share vital knowledge as it only distracts viewers. Again Thank you very much for this video.
I'm actually opening the video like "she's facing the camera and has talking points. Noooo!! I'm not gonna get the cute voice-overlap thing she doesnin her shorts!"
यह बहुत अच्छा होगा यदि आप हमें बायोइंफॉर्मेटिक्स पढ़ाएँ।
Hello agephd pls an aspiring comp science student here pleas if you have a spare laptop that you ain’t using like it really just sitting there in your basement please I’ll be glad if you can give me so I can start learning how to code please it would really have a big impact on my life thank you
Hello there! I wanted to ask you a question.
Currently I'm doing my masters in bioinformatics and now i have a summer break of about 1 month. So I thought of building up my skills during this time. But I'm really confused of what to do. Some of my teachers are saying that R programming is very crucial and some are saying that knowing how to use Linux is also very important. So can you please guide me as to what can I do?
Btw your video really helped me alot! Thanks alot!✨
My advice would be to learn some basic command line and R! ‘Using Linux’ is an odd expression as Linux is an operating system which barely anyone uses, I think what they mean is getting familiar with using command line / terminal!
@@agenomicsphd Thanks alot for this advice! Really grateful ✨
Hey can I please know at which uni you're pursuing your masters?

You had no master?
No! It’s allowed in some countries to skip straight to PhD!

*cries in Austrian*
also i got a super important question !
i think all your viewers will be curious to know :
why you did not replaced by an india coder ?
- as i see you works 100% remotely
so what's the reason for your employee
to spend 2000% of his money on you
rather than 100% on some guy from Mumbai ?
It's deals with medical information, which is very sensitive data. It can't just be trusted with anyone to mess with
@@NarcolepticRaccoon7 NO.
ALL data is anonymous.
also she do NOT have access to raw data
- she just interacts with it with scripts.
You sound British?
i will subscribe to your channel
just to see when the link to OF
will finally appear in your profile 😂
i think with current pace of AI
development it will be very soon 🤓
Just FYI it is in extremely bad taste to show any photos of cadavers being dissected - it's very disrespectful to everyone involved, particularly the donors and their families, obviously. I would edit that out
I'm pretty sure that's an animal - apart from the shape of the body part, cadavers that have been preserved don't look as fresh, they're more grey.
Correct it’s animal- I’ve never worked with human tissue! But noted for future if I ever do of course, thank you for the comment!
You finished a PhD in 3.5 years?!?!?!?
It’s about 5-7 years here in the states !!!😢
will definitely think about doing my PhD in Europe now, lol
If you can do it, you should. America's PhD system is a disgrace and has become a money machine built off cheap labor. They want to maximize students time in PhDs for that cheap labor.
@@stalecigarettesandashes99 oh, I know....trust me. This country is going downhill VERY quick. The education system exists to prey off of students. Trying to figure out how to move from this country in the future
