5 Steps to Transitioning Into Bioinformatics As A Bio Student

In this video I lay out a full guide on how to transition into Bioinformatics as a Bio student. This is the video I wish I had when I was doing my bachelors in molecular/cell biology and wandering how I could transition into Bioinformatics.

Nice video! I was happily surprised to see you mention being inspired by my channel! Great to see you're sharing your experiences with bioinformatics too -- we need more voices in this field!

[siddharthtyagi]

finally all of my doubts have been cleared after watching your videos Thankyou soo much brother

Hi Oggy, thanks for uploading this video. I've went through it and it's been very helpful! I've personally been very narrowminded and undecisive on pursuing a bioinfo masters, but hearing your experience throughout the video has been showing me that at least moving towards the field step-by-step will help a person understand the bigger picture of bioinformatics, which I've been confused about for a while. Congratulations on taking the plunge on your job offers! It definitely seems like you've been able to benefit from it.

Thanks alot Oggy, i am a pharmacist from Syria who moved to Germany to start a bioinformatic master (cause the field didn't exist at the time in my country). I actually ended the first year of my bioinformatic masters and now searching to get more practical experience in labs or institutes. I find it hard to get an internship since I don't have so much experience in coding and I was getting frustrated cause the competition is a little high in Frankfurt. But after watching Ur vedio I got a little bit motivated and found the book in my Uni library. I think I should now start with the second and third step that u mentioned even if it will take me alittle more time than others. Thanks again😊

Thank you for this! I am starting my masters in bioinformatics mid year..You got a new subscriber.

Quick notes

8:27 Learn python from any one more then 4 hours uploaded last 1 year every day code atleast 30 minutes
9:25 creating project based on u learned like calculator or any thing u enjoy
12:09 python for bioinformatics book find physical book and try to apply in biological problems
15:37 job related and msc experience soft skills
18:59 get more experience in practical has much as possible

great information! would be very helpful to make more videos about your current job, responsibilities and your day life as a person who is working in the industry.

Most relatable and honest video I watched on bioinformatics till now.

[LiliU]

Thank you so much I studied biotechnology and I wanted to go for bioinformatics. I was so lost, this was really helpful.

[jesushernandez-gwqj]

Great video man, I’m interested in bioinformatics, I got the basics of python down and now I’m coding some projects. This video gave me a pretty good idea of how to move forward. I appreciate you. God bless.

[jamalnasirmls]

You are such a great storyteller! The story you shared really resonates with me and my current situation.

[nusratafrin]

Thanks for sharing your way of Learning.

[josecantu]

Hands down this is what I'm dealing with currently as an undergrad who just graduated not that long ago. I'm trying to find a wet lab job since that's primarily most of my skill set. Then after a year of working get into a master's Bioinformatics program.

[bddrcrt]

Thank you so much for the lecture. I am south Korean. I am majoring in biology in Korea. I respect you so much and you are so cool. I want to be a wonderful bioinformatics expert like you.

[jetmirriderz]

Thanks. I got a 2:2 in biomedical science and no graduate job wants me, and I did very little python in my free time. I want to get a hybrid/fully remote job in this field within 2 yeats

[maryamshabbir]

Hi. Thank you for providing such great information. I am an international student here in Uk studying Masters in Molecular microbiology. I really want to these skills.

[fareehazafar]

I'm from MLT background now it clears all my doubts about my biology background

[samson_dr]

Thank you! This reinforced my decision to enter the field as a biology student.

[JuanVB]

Great video! You don't know how important is this video, bro. Subscribed, Thanks!

Hello sir. Thanks for the info. I was really struggling to start over. I have bachelor degree in biochemistry and a master degree in biochemistry and molecule biology. But im suffering with ptsd and bipolar disorder and im on medication. Its really hard for me to continue working in wetlab as there is lots of experiment to conducts with such a conditions. I was searching to switch my major to something that is possible for me to do with the kind of health issues i have. Finally, i came to know about bioinformatics. Thank you so much you just made it easy for me. Soon im going to start over my bioinformatics journey the same as you explained. ❤
