Would I be learning app development in bsc in bioinformatics?? Please tell me what can I develop after learning bsc in bioinformatics???

Pujitha reddy 16th Nov, 2021

Hello Candidate

A bioinformatics software developer works on the development of the existing software and the tools related to it. The developer is expected to have analytical skills as well as good communication skills. They must be creative in their work to be able to create new tools and new algorithms. Initially, the software developer needs to have good knowledge of essential hard skills such as SQL and Python. Companies that are responsible for building computational tools mainly hire a bioinformatics software developer as well.

To become a software developer of bioinformatics, one needs to have good knowledge in the field of biology and computer science. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biology, and computer science can opt for such an option.

Hope this helped you,

Do bioinformaticians cure any disease? or they just do research on that? (Bsc Bioinformatics)

Pujitha reddy 16th Nov, 2021

Hello Candidate

BIO INFORMATICIANS helps making the drug discovery stages easy which inturn helps the diseased people to get the right medication at the reasonable cost with less side effects

you can find a career in pharmacogenomics which is a combination of the science of drugs as well as the study of genes. It mainly studies the response of drugs applied to an individual while the genes are causing an impact. For instance, very recently, pharmacogenomics has been used in the case of HIV patients. The patient’s genetic variations are tested and kept under observation to check the impact of the genes on their drug response.

Both bioinformatics and pharmacogenomics are related to each other. They both help in reducing the cost borne by pharmaceutical companies through their studies and research outcomes. The bioinformatician provides the required software tools and database, which are used in pharmacogenomics to design and develop drugs and develop processes related to them. Hence, an expert in bioinformatics can further study and work on pharmacogenomics. There are degree courses on pharmacogenomics and drug development available in many colleges in India.

hope this helped you.

GOOD LUCK!!
