I just graduated from a computer science degree with a focus on ML and Data science. I have no training or experience in anything biology related. Do you think it would be possible (in principle) to do a similar jump without further formal training (i.e. just learn the biology stuff on the job)? Or do you think that if I donβt have your management and project experience this will be quite difficult?
In my case, as I think is often true, having a lot of experience and training in other areas made up for having less in bio. If the field were more mature, and there were a lot of senior people looking for people to mentor and delegate to I think it would be easier to bring people with less experience on and have them learn on the job (as is common in industry programming).
