I've been the student staring at a terminal with no idea what to do next. Coming from a pure life science background, I had no programming experience, no roadmap and no idea that bioinformatics could become a career. Like many students, I thought coding was something other people did. What I learned is that most students don't struggle because bioinformatics is too difficult, they struggle because nobody shows them where to start. Every year, students and researchers want to enter bioinformatics but feel overwhelmed by Linux, Python, NGS analysis, computational biology and the endless amount of information online. The problem isn't a lack of opportunities. It's a lack of clear guidance. I've seen this firsthand. Students who wanted to work in bioinformatics but couldn't write a line of code, run a command in a terminal or interpret sequencing data. I was once one of them. That's why I started BI23 - to help life science students and researchers build practical, industry-relevant skills in bioinformatics and computational biology. Through internships, hands-on training programs, short courses and career guidance, BI23 has trained 70+ students across Bioinformatics, Linux, Python, R, NGS, WGS Analysis, AI/ML for Life Sciences and career guidence. We've also collaborated with institutions, startups, and edtech platforms to make high-quality bioinformatics education more accessible. Whether you're exploring bioinformatics for the first time, planning a career transition, looking for internship opportunities or trying to understand what skills the industry actually expects, I'm happy to help.
