Bioinformatics

1. Are you interested in applying computational methods to biological data (e.g., genomes, proteins, systems biology)?

2. Do you enjoy programming (e.g., Python, R) or want to learn it to analyze datasets?

3. Are you curious about statistics and probabilistic modeling for interpreting noisy biological measurements?

4. Do you enjoy working with large datasets and building pipelines to preprocess and integrate data?

5. Are you interested in machine learning or pattern recognition to discover biological insights?

6. Are you motivated by understanding molecular mechanisms, evolution, or systems-level behavior through computation?

7. Do you enjoy interdisciplinary collaboration—working with biologists, computer scientists, and statisticians?

8. Are you attentive to data quality, reproducibility, and careful documentation of analyses?

9. Do you care about ethical issues around genomic data, privacy, and responsible use of biological information?

10. Are you excited by continuous learning, as both biology and computation evolve rapidly?
