Can I work as a data scientist after a Bioinformatics course?

Yes you can work as a data scientist after pursuing a course in Bioinformatics. Besides the core skills used by a data scientist, one thing to adapt to is the domain-specific terminology, concepts and certain processes exclusive to biological data. The catch is - you'll still be dealing with data. You'll be studying the data and exemplifying findings just as you would in any other field. Biological data might seem comparatively sensitive and complex.

What is the scope of Bioinformatics course?

The subject of Bioinformatics is now recognised as a young one in Science, and job opportunities there are expanding quickly. Holders of the degree can find employment in the Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical, hospital, and research institute industries. Candidates have opportunities in all fields utilising Molecular biology and Information Technology. Medical Science is becoming more and more important. It is constantly expanding and has risen to become one of the highest-paying industries. Candidates can work in manufacturing facilities for Biomedical products, scientific research institutes, and Biotechnology corporations to enlist students with backgrounds in Bioinformatics for future research, as well as teach in both public and private colleges. In India, a Bioinformatician's starting pay ranges from INR 2 to INR 2.5 lakhs. With 1-2 years of expertise, candidates can earn a salary package of INR 3 to INR 4 Lacs annually. Salary grows with knowledge and experience.
