Bioinformatics
Collecting and analysing the large swathes of biological data hidden throughout the life sciences is a vastly complex task. A relatively new field of science, bioinformatics is comprised of a variety of different moving parts, from extremely specialised multidisciplinary teams to the advanced technology used to interpret and store data, the face of biological discovery will never be the same again.
Bioinformatics is directly responsible for the progression of the industry, the development of new insights required to tackle the unmet medical needs of tomorrow, and a way to utilise the huge amount of raw data produced by research and discovery. The way life sciences will process and analyse gene expression data, RNA seq data and cell cycles will change the world as we know it.
Usually, bioinformatics jobs are taken by scientists with a knowledge of computer programming and data analytics, or vice versa. The field of bioinformatics is incredibly broad however, so developing an effective function requires a great deal of preparation and a dependable hiring process.
In the last few years alone, the field of bioinformatics has been responsible for some amazing developments, such as single-cell sequencing and the creation of a cell reference map for the human body (which was impossible before bioinformatic technology came along). From clinical bioinformatics to bioinformatic analysis and everything in between, there's a great deal of roles and responsibilities to consider in a what is undoubtedly a fulfilling field of work.

Life Sciences in Berlin
Beautiful Berlin is Europe’s cultural jewel. It’s home to a myriad of astonishing sights, galleries, museums, profoundly thought-provoking memorials, the Reichstag, week-long parties, and a booming life sciences scene. Berlin is a truly unique city – it emanates creativity, not only in the life sciences space, but in the arts too, representing a beautiful, inimitable synergy, as seen regularly in the world-renowned Art Laboratory Berlin.
Berlin is one of the world’s leading life science clusters, boasting a huge number of highly advanced educational institutes, robust biotech, pharmacutical and medtech ecosystems. These are the systems that support over 500 companies in the life sciences space. The world-famous HealthCapital was founded back in 1996, and since then, the cluster has become a launching pad for countless life sciences startups, representing boundless opportunity for progression within the sector.
According to Refire Online, Berlin’s life science real estate transaction value alone was worth 634 million euros between 2017 and 2021. Moreover, there’s a thriving medtech presence that’s home to many of the world’s most impactful biotech and medtech companies, including Klara and Amboss.
With over 70 independent research institutes, hundreds of top-ranked research initiatives, and plenty of international science conferences, Germany’s capital acts as hotspot for discovery and innovation in what is undoubtably one of the most impactful fields of modern research.
The past few years have been incredibly testing for organisations everywhere. The pandemic shone a spotlight in on the life sciences, (particularly healthcare science) unveiling their critical importance to a much wider audience. Berlin’s life sciences industry proved to be robust, ultimately helping produce one of the major vaccines at a time of unprecedented turmoil. If you’re hoping to get ahead in Berlin’s life sciences industry, now is the perfect time to start building the teams of the future.
At BioTalent, our specialist recruitment consultants take a knowledge-based approach to finding you the perfect candidate. Our deep understanding of the various markets within the industry, combined with our passion for people and our DEIB-led (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging) methodology enables us to get your life science jobs filled by the best talent around.
Our expansive (and exclusive) talent network grants us access to a wider range of candidates, effectively increasing your chances of finding the ideal addition to your team. We’re more than just a Berlin recruitment agency – we have a global presence with 6 locations (Berlin, London, Manchester, Dublin, Zug, Los Angeles, and Boston) and a fast-growing workforce.
Our mission is to build diversity, create inclusion and encourage workplace innovation – the life sciences represent the perfect opportunity to make a real impact as we continue our journey. If you want to get involved, don’t hesitate to reach out today, we’d love to get to know you.
Diverse workforces will be essential in the battle to combat tomorrow’s problems. Gen Z is now the most diverse and populous generation in the history of the world, (New York Post) they are the clients and the employees of tomorrow, and diversity of thought will be required to meet their needs.
