Seconded. There's so much space for data analysis in biology, that there are even training programs at top universities to reconvert wet lab technicians and postdocs into data science people to fill unmet demand as quickly as possible.

Thus, it's dirty easy to get a job in this area with a background in biology. It's just a relatively small pivot that can be done smoothly.

would you mind listing some universities or programs you know that offer these opportunities? thanks!
For example, the University of Oxford. Just drop me an email if you require more information.

Oxford is even starting a new college to address the data & life sciences challenge.
