Mastering Bioinformatics in the Age of AI: Foundational Skills for the Modern Scientist

To not miss a post like this, sign up for my newsletter to learn computational biology and bioinformatics. AI is transforming every field — and bioinformatics is no exception. From designing drug molecules in minutes to writing entire pipelines, generative AI is making it faster than ever to process biological data. But here’s the truth: AI doesn’t understand biology — you do. That’s why, in this new era, your value isn’t replaced by AI — it’s multiplied by your ability to judge, validate, and improve what AI produces.
