Bioinformatics - the new Telecom
by Decius at 3:08 pm EST, Dec 17, 2002

] In life-sciences establishments around the world, the laboratory
] rat is giving way to the computer mouse—as computing joins forces
] with biology to create a bioinformatics market that is expected to
] be worth nearly $40 billion within three years.

Alot of the interesting computing in the next few years is going to be in this space. Unfortunately for transistor heads like me, they are hiring biologists with computer experience rather than computer people who understand biology. Automation is going to eliminate the need for people who understand how to operate computer systems and networks over the next few years. As a result, all but the very best are likely to have a difficult time finding work. Furthermore, programming languages like Java and Perl make programming more accessible to people with other skill sets. The result may be a labor market which simply isn't interested in uni-discipline professionals.

Tom: YOu and I should open a Bioinformatics firm. I got the biology down, you got the computer geek skillz. We could ownz this field.:)

There is a redundant post from Peak_Freak not displayed in this view.
