at School of Biosciences, Gurgaon

Here is a list of some widely known recruiters for Bioinformatics candidates:

• Helix Infosystems
• TCS
• Wipro
• Geneva Biosciences
• Infosys
• IIT Hyderabad
• Mascon Lifesciences
• Accelrys Software Solution Pvt.

Since the need for medical Science is increasing, PhD Bioinformatics scholars can work in the fields of research institutes, pharmaceutical, hospital, biomedical, and biotechnology. Candidates have scope in all industries where information technology of molecular biology is used. 

According to the AmbitionBox, A Bioinformatics Scientist's Salary in India is:

• INR 2.8 LPA for the fresher's level
• INR 9.6 LPA for the mid-level
• INR 51.0 LPA for the top level

However, the salary package varies depending on one's relevant experience, skills, location, company, and designation.

Yes, graduates of Bioinformatics courses work as Data Scientists. Both of these disciplines require a similar set of talents, therefore Bioinformatics courses graduates with the above-mentioned skill set can work in Data Science roles in the industry if they can adapt their mindsets to the subject. 

Candidates are left with the majority of the Data Science skill set plus a few more if they take the domain-specific requirements out of the Bioinformatics skill set. Most likely, those who transition from bioinformatics to Data Science will need to adjust to their employer's data organisation and distribution environment.

People from Data Science should be able to function in Bioinformatics professions after gaining some domain-specific skills and knowledge if the argument of core skill similarity is valid.
