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.
If you’re hoping to build your own bioinformatics team, or you need to strengthen your existing on, then BioTalent is on hand to help.

Life Sciences in London
London is overflowing with opportunity for those wishing to flourish in the wonderful world of the life sciences. Aside from being the best city in the world, (probably) London boasts some of the top bioscience courses found anywhere, such as the Pharmacology programme at UCL, or the Medicine course at Imperial College. The life sciences are closely intertwined with London’s long history of meaningful advancement and discovery, and the vast array of exciting life science jobs reflect this.
Suffice to say, you can find plenty of opportunities through the life sciences in London. The market is thriving, and London is uniquely positioned to lead the charge. We have seen a megalithic surge in the industry’s popularity and visibility in the post-COVID climate, and a rise in popularity means more funding and even more opportunity for development. The life sciences consistently stand at the forefront of discovery, of healthcare, societal wellbeing, and the future of a global humanity, making for a truly exciting field of work.
In fields as impactful as life sciences, (of which there are not many) consistent development is critical. For businesses to remain relevant, sustainable, desirable, and effective in what is undoubtably a fast-moving industry, placing an emphasis on facing the future should be part of the day plan. Some of the biggest names in the life sciences field operate out of London and the surrounding areas, (AstraZeneca, Quell Therapeutics, Touchlight, Pulmocide) and there are plenty of visionary startups bursting into life too, marking a fantastic opportunity for anyone hoping to make an impact as they grow alongside a high-potential enterprise.
If you’re interested in exploring some exciting life sciences jobs in London, or you’re attempting to build a talented team of your own, then BioTalent are here to help you out.
