Hello User,

Hope you are doing well.

Yes!! And you will be surprised but there is already demand and openings for a Data Scientist with a biology background. I have received couple of openings from Naukri dot com.

Statistical techniques are always being used in this field. Since now you have computation power and tools such as python there is a large demand in the market.

I have seen some requirements like Data scientists in molecular biology, medical research. There is a widely used image recognition model that detects benign tumors from other harmful tumors.

Hope this will help you...Good Luck!
