Hi, i am first year pharmacy student and i am very interested in bioinformatics field.i even watched a dozens of videos on YouTube and started to learn phython and i really feel like i finally love what i do, but as every thing else there is some problems:
1.I don't know if this is the right start?! If not what's the right start?!
I found that my faculty "faculty of pharmacy cairo university" give a bioinformatics diploma for post graduates but i am really confused if it's will be enough to work in this field?!
I feel like this field is Abandoned in my country"egypt" and that's terrify me.
Thank you in advance❤️
Short comment: most people currently working in bioinformatics do not have a bioinformatics diploma, but came from either computer science or biology. Of course, now that these programs are available it doesn't hurt to follow one...
