Podcast: Why everyone needs bioinformatics skills now

Why are bioinformatics skills becoming essential for every life scientist? And how is AI changing the way researchers analyze biological data?

In the third episode of Simon’s Bench Talk, we sit down with Deniz Sinar, Bioinformatician at Singleron Biotechnologies, to discuss why bioinformatics is no longer just for computational specialists, it’s becoming a core skill for modern biology.

From single-cell sequencing to AI-assisted coding, Deniz explains how researchers can overcome common data analysis bottlenecks, become more independent, and unlock deeper biological insights without needing to become expert programmers.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why bioinformatics is now an essential skill for biologists
  • How AI is transforming biological data analysis
  • Whether every researcher really needs to learn coding
  • Why single cell projects often stall after sequencing
  • The biggest challenges in data interpretation and analysis
  • The most valuable bioinformatics skills to learn first
  • Free resources and tools that can help researchers get started


Whether you’re a graduate student, wet-lab scientist, bioinformatician, or simply interested in the future of life sciences, this episode offers practical insights into navigating today’s data-driven research landscape.
